Right. I had considered that.

But there is no way to have it remove the repeated
It would be a useful enhancement to uniq to replace all lines
considered non-uniq (i.e. those that would be removed from the output)
with a message about how many times the previous line was repeated.
I.e.
$ cat <
signature.asc
