But the problem is that `uniq' might be confused with a similarly named
feature `uniquify' that uniquifies buffer names.

This problem is not specific to `delete-duplicate-lines'.
All similar functions like e.g. `delete-matching-lines',
`delete-non-matching-lines' and `delete-blank-lines'
behave the same way.
