unique_array - partitions an array of objects into groups

array unique_array(object array obarr, string separator);

array unique_array(object array obarr, string separator, mixed skip);

array unique_array(array arr, function f);

array unique_array(array arr, function f, mixed skip);

Groups objects/values together for which the `separator' function
returns the same value.  In the first case, "separator" is a string function
name to try on each object.  In the second case, the function f is called
with the element as the argument.  If 'skip' is passed, elements for which
the separator function returns the same as 'skip' are omitted from the
return value.

The return value is an array of arrays of the form:
<pre>
     ({
         ({Same1:1, Same1:2, Same1:3, .... Same1:N }),
         ({Same2:1, Same2:2, Same2:3, .... Same2:N }),
         ({Same3:1, Same3:2, Same3:3, .... Same3:N }),
                       ....
                       ....
         ({SameM:1, SameM:2, SameM:3, .... SameM:N }),
     })
</pre>

i.e. an array of arrays, where each of the elements in the sub arrays returned
the same value as the other elements in the same sub array.
