uniq man page says:
A field is a run of blanks (usually spaces and/or TABs), then  non-blank
characters.  Fields are skipped before chars.

Therefore the users should also be able to specify the separator character.


A more general way to support this, and already discussed
is to have shared field management between the related
sort, join, uniq utilities.This would also be a way to consolidate i18n support 
in these utilities.
