Examples

col_concat(mtcars)

library(magrittr)            # for piping operator

# you can use "assert_rows", "is_uniq", and this function to
# check if joint duplicates (across different columns) appear
# in a data frame
## Not run: 
mtcars %>%
  assert_rows(col_concat, is_uniq, mpg, hp)
  # fails because the first two rows are jointly duplicates
  # on these two columns

## End(Not run)

mtcars %>%
  assert_rows(col_concat, is_uniq, mpg, hp, wt) # ok
