Merge duplicate components

sometimes you copy and paste symbols from different files, it would be good to highlight the duplicate symbols, with an option to merge them all somehow or delete the extra ones.

    Eeek. Only one other person wants this... I'm suddenly hopeless.

    As I've moved over from Sketch, I've got a LOT of files in Sketch format.

    I can import into XD, YAY!!!
    I sometimes get a version of each Sketch symbol as a Component for each artboard it appears on... BOO!

    My other issue around this is the naming/ID conventions from Sketch, which probably isn't terribly important to the XD dev team. Symbols got different layer names across artboards, making Auto-Animate a horror show. The one time I've done this before, I gave up renaming EVERYTHING consistently and just rebuilt in XD, so the import feature wasn't very useful. Now, I can't use the convenience of editing a Master Component because each symbol instance has it's own Master.
