is there an equivalent to the function findgroups in Julia as defined in Matlab,

> **[Find groups and return group numbers - MATLAB findgroups](https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/findgroups.html)**
>
> This MATLAB function returns G, a vector of group numbers created from the grouping variable A.
