A classic idiom for reading lines and keeping them is

The current behavior trips new users on occasion, and the

A good name would help a lot. Let's paint that bikeshed!

Maybe `byUniqueLine`.
We might also consider a higher order range (say, `byUnique`,
in the same vein) that GC-clones elements in some generic
fashion, then showing `f.byLine().byUnique()` front and centre
in `byLine`'s documentation.
Just a couple of half-assed ideas to get the ball rolling.
f.byLineIdup();
