@ page 960 line 37131 section uniq objection [gwc uniq+newline]
Problem:
Defect code : 1. Error
The description of the uniq utility says that it compares "lines",
which by definition include the trailing newline. This does not
match existing practice, which is to ignore the newline.
(This can make a difference when the -s and -f options are used.)
Action:
Append to the first paragraph:
"The trailing <newline> of each line in the input shall be
ignored when doing comparisons."
