[R] selecting values that are unique, instead of selecting unique values

Hmmm, this is not very good:

> Vec <- c(10:1,1)
> Vec[ table(Vec) == 1 ]
[1] 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

and these are obviously not the unique values.....
This one is better:

Vec [ ! duplicated(Vec) & ! duplicated(Vec, fromLast=TRUE) ]
