Why:
* Remove dupes from PATH
How:
$PATH is a scalar composed of contents of $path, so it uses typeset -U
("U" as in Unique) to ensure there are no dupes. It preserves the first
occurrence in the array, since it would be searched first before others
when matching a command in the directories in the PATH anyway.
