#dropRepeats

Removes consecutively repeated elements from an array using strict equality (===).

Only adjacent duplicates are removed — non-adjacent duplicates are kept. Use uniq to remove all duplicates regardless of position.

Quirks (inherent to ===):

• NaN !== NaN, so adjacent NaNs are not collapsed.
• -0 === 0, so adjacent -0 and 0 are collapsed.
• Object/array elements compare by reference, not structure.

dropRepeats([1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1])
// [1, 2, 3, 2, 1]
