Sorry, @hellkite500, for whatever reason this has slipped through my feed and i've not reviewed it. Im stepping away from the keyboard for an hour or so this morning, but i'll give it a review once im back.

[aaraney]

Mostly small stuff, but there are a few comments that will need to be a few changes before this can get merged.

Remove the test deduplication parts into its own PR.

Overall it looks great! Thanks for making the requested changes. There are two minor logical statements that I had questions about, but after we get through them, this should be ready to merge.

Looks good to me!

Addressed one major request, and opened an issue for the other. This PR is blocking some others that need review and merged. Feel free to test out and leave feed back on the linked issue or in a new one as needed!
