+    str_unique(strings::AbstractVector{<:AbstractString}; ignore_case::Bool=false)

+Remove duplicates from a vector of strings.

+Arguments
+- `strings`: Input vector of strings.
+- `ignore_case`: Whether to ignore case when comparing strings. Default is `false`.
+
+Returns
+A vector of unique strings from the input vector.
+
+Examples
+```jldoctest

+
+Extract a word from a string.
+
+Arguments
+- `string`: Input string.
+- `start_index`: The starting index of the word. Default is 1.
+- `end_index`: The ending index of the word. Default is `start_index`.
+- `sep`: The separator between the start and end indices. Default is a space.
+
+Returns
+The extracted word from the string.
+
+Examples
+```jldoctest
+julia> word("Jane saw a cat", 1)
