Similar to #2507. The -f <num> option to uniq has a deprecated syntax, -<num>. See https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/uniq-invocation.html For example,

$ printf "a a\nb a\n" | uniq -1
a a

I don't know if this is possible to specify with clap.

Actually, it should be possible with a multiple flag for each digit, which is the way GNU uniq does it. I'll try my hand at this.
