wc count field widths now are heuristically adjusted depending
...
on the input size, if known. If only one count is printed, it
is guaranteed to be printed without leading spaces.
Previously, wc did not align the count fields if
POSIXLY_CORRECT was set, but POSIX did not actually require
this undesirable behavior, so it has been removed.
* doc/coreutils.texi (wc invocation): Likewise.

(uniq invocation, squeezing, The uniq command):
...
Use "repeated" rather than "duplicate" to describe adjacent
duplicates; this simplifies the description and makes it more

output of lines, rather than cause some lines to be output.
Mention what happens if a line lacks enough fields or characters.
