I don't have any such documentation or belief. my belief is that uniq will
count non-consecutive matches, that's what I'm relying on. however, sorting
first doesn't hurt anything, so have at it.

yeah, awk is often a more appropriate tool for this type of job, it's just
that I happened to learn sed first, so I default to that. it's the same
reason I use vi instead of emacs, it's largely down to complete coincidence.
