Couldn't you just use remap[s] == -1 as a sentinel?

This is what I have done first, but allocating seen should be cheap, and the problem is that remap, in order to be fast, should have the same eltype as drefs and they are unsigned.

At least this is what I thought. Now I see that we can use remap[s] == 0 as sentinel, as we use 0 for missing which is handled in other way anyway. I will change this

else
seen[s] = true
rm = index(dpool)[s]
remap[s] = rm
drefs[dstart+i] = rm
end

Are you sure we need to duplicate all of this code for performance? Branch prediction is usually quite efficient, so even if you have an if inside the loop I suspect it won't make a big difference. And often LLVM will do the hoisting automatically.

I would have to do isordered check in the innermost part of the loop. I can check if compiler can optimize this out.

Since there's already a branch I don't think it will matter, even if the compiler doesn't hoist it.

but we have to do isordered test in every step of the loop. If it is not optimized out then it will be much slower. I will check.

This method isn't needed now AFAICT.

What do you want to happen if we want to copy! a normal array to a categorical array? Throw an error?

I wonder why Base doesn't call resize! in case of failure. That sounds trivial, undoing the operation is not as hard as in copyto!. But better stick to what Base does, and maybe file an issue in Julia.

Maybe the reason is that you would have to do try-catch which will slow down the function? I will open an issue with Base.

Better check the length? Actually, better check the whole contents of the result (same for the line above).

Better use unsorted values to really test that the order is preserved.

Why not also check levels? Also with different unsorted values? Same below.
