Let's say due to some glitch elsewhere, we are now left with a Group
wherein half the messages say

Gnus-Warning: This is a duplicate of message <...>

E.g., on our first IMAP run the connection dropped before the DELETE
command, so now we have 50 messages repeated twice, total 100.

So gnus should have a 'delete duplicates' command,
which remove the duplicates... (actual duplicates, not e.g., former
duplicates that still bear that header.)

I think that sounds like a way too dangerous command -- deleting
messages based on vague indicators isn't nice.  So I'm closing this bug
report.
