It is very common to pipe the output of cat or find to a filtering program. It would be great if runiq could be used as a cross-platform drop-in replacement for uniq.

This is already possible if you use - as the input source, which is modeled after tools like cat.

Just discovered that reading the code. It would be good to mention it in the help.
