#' @name gl.filter.secondaries
#' @title Filters loci that represent secondary SNPs in a genlight object
#' @description
#' SNP datasets generated by DArT include fragments with more than one SNP and
#' record them separately with the same CloneID (=AlleleID). These multiple SNP
#' loci within a fragment (secondaries) are likely to be linked, and so you may
#' wish to remove secondaries.
#'
#' This script filters out all but the first sequence tag with the same CloneID
#' after ordering the genlight object on based on repeatability, avgPIC in that
#' order (method='best') or at random (method='random').
#'
#' The filter has not been implemented for tag presence/absence data.
#'
#' @param x Name of the genlight object containing the SNP data [required].
#' @param method Method of selecting SNP locus to retain, 'best' or 'random'
#'  [default 'random'].
#' @param verbose Verbosity: 0, silent or fatal errors; 1, begin and end; 2,
#' progress log; 3, progress and results summary; 5, full report
#' [default 2, unless specified using gl.set.verbosity].
#' @return The genlight object, with the secondary SNP loci removed.
