Provides Array::Unique::Compositing.

An implementation of Array that permits chaining, where children inherit changes to parent and where parent settings can be overridden in children, and that ensures inserted values are unique.

• sudo gem install array-unique-compositing

compositing_array = Array::Unique::Compositing.new
sub_compositing_array = Array::Unique::Compositing.new( compositing_array )

compositing_array.push( :A )
# compositing_array
# => [ :A ]
# sub_compositing_array
# => [ :A ]
compositing_array.push( :A )
# compositing_array
# => [ :A ]
# sub_compositing_array
# => [ :A ]

compositing_array.delete_at( 0 )
# compositing_array
# => [ ]
# sub_compositing_array
# => [ ]

sub_compositing_array.push( :A )
# compositing_array
