If I understand rightly, the values in the slice are to be interpreted 
(key, value) pairs?  In that case, the natural thing to me is to build a 
map.  This also takes care of "duplicate key, last value wins".  You can 
then sort the keys and convert it back:

However, I think that a slice of adjacent keys and values is not a 
particularly natural way to represent this data; it's clearer to make a 
structure which holds keys and vals.
