Sure, I can (and already did) take care of it in the backend and add it to the model. That's probably the best place to do it, but I think the same thing goes for the {{?map}} built-in. For me that would also be the only proper use I see for {{?distinct}} (applying it on the result of a map operation). But, again, I see your point.

Thanks for your feedback!
