dedup functionality is wrong for numeric even with sorted

[13minutes-yt]

A couple of problems I encountered on using dedup

echo -e "data\n3\n1\n3\n10\n5"|qsv dedup

data
1
10
3
5
1

it removed the duplicate yet it did not sort them numerically, and the 1 in the end is the duplicate count which is annoying (can be removed by -Q)

In the documentation, it is said to sort first

echo -e "data\n3\n1\n3\n10\n5"|qsv sort -N|qsv dedup --sorted

data
1
3
Aborting! Input not sorted! ByteRecord(["5"]) is greater than ByteRecord(["10"])

and of course

$ echo -e "data\n3\n1\n3\n10\n5"|qsv sort -N|qsv dedup
data
1
10
3
5
1

Good find @13minutes-yt . This is indeed a bug with dedup, will have to give it a --numeric option as well.

As for the dupe count being returned to stderr by dedup, I needed that in a program (DP+) that uses qsv. The --quiet option is there to suppress that.

#1666 fixes this. And you can now do:

echo -e "data\n3\n1\n3\n10\n5"| qsv dedup -N -Q 
data
1
3
5
10
