+\value{
+List where duplicates are renamed.
+}
+\description{
+It might happen that there are duplicated strings in a list. With this
+function we will rename those duplicated entries in a way that we simply add
+the number of occurrences to the string. I.e., when the string foo occurs
+three times in a list, it will be renamed to foo_1, foo_2, and foo_3,
+respectively.

+l <- c("foo", "bar", "foo", "bars")
