Hello
Re running sort on list of words
The sort option -u, without -c, should output only the first of an equal
run, but it outputs more than 1 equal entries.
It seems that non-printing chars, e.g. a space at the end of the word, are
included in the comparison for dups. Could there be an option that
compares printing chars only?
