Until now I managed to stay away from this, but I now have a solid
implementation that I plan to commit after optimizing and testing quite
a bit more. It's not invasive though, it's very simple (stripped down
pieces from unique.c) and will be trivial to back out of if/when you
implement this in core JtR.
The "closed loop mode" is curious without dupe detection, but it really
rocks with it.
