Have I ever mentioned that 'sort | uniq -c' really ought to be folded 
into sort proper? (Not to get rid of 'uniq', but 'sort | uniq -c | sort 
-n' is far less efficient than a good tree algorithm... which is exactly 
why I wrote such a critter. When analyzing the output of 'strings' on a 
multi-GB core file, it makes a WORLD of difference...)

Somewhere, there is a .sig so funny that reading it will cause an 
aneurysm. I haven't found it yet, but I think I met a few of the runners-up.
