I was about to suggest using the Plan9 port utilities of the
same name but it seems 'uniq' is not coded to handle Runes

The cool thing about this thread is that I learned two things: what tr
-s does, and the Nq does for sed...
Sadly, this doesn't work so well for text that isn't ASCII-7 english...
