i'm as in favor of long options as the next man (or significantly more

a long option for `uniq -c` seems as crazy to me as a long option for
`ls -l` or `wc -l`... when it's core everyday functionality, a long
option makes no sense to me.

that's been seen in the wild", i thought i should admit to having
hushed this one up :-)
