Remove duplicate lines from the current copy buffer.

OSX users as well as linux users with copy/paste buffer commands can remove duplicate items from their copy buffer with this command. I use this often when I have to copy a long list of items that I didn't generate, but I need to paste elsewhere in a list that's unique. If retaining the original order of lines isn't important to you, use the following command which is easier to remember. pbpaste | sort | uniq | pbcopy
This is sample output - yours may be different.
