Re: The 'cut' operation should have synonyms

Hey Dima,

But then I read the whole manpage, and found that this actually was
available under the non-obvious name "cut". Can we add "print" and/or
"echo" as synonyms for "cut"? Or at least update the docs to talk about
"cut" more prominently? If we have something like "print", then no
documentation is needed.

Yeah, good point. This should be fine and I've added it to my todo list.

I've also been wanting to alias 'unique' to 'uniq', since the latter is both shorter and 
more consistent with the existing unix command. (It is always the first thing that comes 
to mind, and it often catches me when I forget to use the full word "unique".)
