isDuplicateName(item)

This is true if another note in the document has the same $Name as this note.

This can be useful if trying to find/resolve notes with duplicate names within a document. If expecting to use action code to work with notes, it helps if a note's title ($Name) is unique.

From v9.5.0, isDuplicateName() ignores all aliases. Previously, testing aliases resulted in false reports of duplicate names.
