...but you can't think of any other tool that can add up a bunch of numbers?!
You're using dynamite to kill a mosquito. There must be a dozen basic
utilities that can do arithmetic. Like awk:
... | uniq -c | awk '{t+=$1}END{print t,"total"}1'

This is not a bug, but a feature request.
=20
'uniq --count' is an excellent tool for summarizing data, but it is
missing one useful feature - an overall total.
=20
It's embarrassing to have to go to excel to bring the totals together.
=20
I suggest a new -t (--total) option:
=20
* When combined with '--count', it reports the sum of the count
lines
* Without the '--count', it reports the number of lines printed
by uniq
=20
As a new parameter, it will not break any scripts that rely upon the
current output of uniq.
