A classic idiom for reading lines and keeping them is

The current behavior trips new users on occasion, and the idiom
solving it is very frequent. So what the heck - let's put that
in a function, expose and document it nicely, and call it a day.
A good name would help a lot. Let's paint that bikeshed!

Maybe `byUniqueLine`.
We might also consider a higher order range (say, `byUnique`, in
the same vein) that GC-clones elements in some generic fashion,
then showing `f.byLine().byUnique()` front and centre in
`byLine`'s documentation.
Just a couple of half-assed ideas to get the ball rolling.
