### New unique package The new [unique](/pkg/unique) package provides facilites for canonicalizing values (like "interning" or "hash-consing"). Any value of comparable type may be canonicalized with the new `Make[T]` function, which produces a reference to a canonical copy of the value in the form of a `Handle[T]`. Two `Handle[T]` are equal if and only if the values used to produce the handles are equal, allowing programs to deduplicate values and reduce their memory footprint. Comparing two `Handle[T]` values is efficient, reducing down to a simple pointer comparison.
