I can't understand, why uniq work for array of int but do not 
work with array of strings.

	int[] arr = [ 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5 ];
	writeln(uniq(arr));

	string [] str = ["qwe","asd","zxc", "qwe"];
	auto uniqarr = uniq(str);

	foreach(x;uniqarr)
	{
		writeln(x);
	}

Running .\test.exe
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
qwe
asd
zxc
qwe

^ "qwe" prints two times.

Works as expected. From the docs:

 Iterates unique -> _consecutive_ <- elements of the given range

Though I concur that the description might be more verbose.

Could you explain what does it's mean? I do not understand what 
is _consecutive_ mean in this content... and why it's not work 
with strings...

Oh I understood. It's means that it work only of two or more 
element's is placed one after one?

Yes, uniq returns exactly the same range as its input, except 
that elemens that are equal to their immediate predecessor are 
dropped.

That's why you'll usually want to sort before using uniq.
