    Fix confusing example in paste(1)
    
    Paste's man page contains an example for a reimplementation of
    nl(1). This example uses the command line
        sed = myfile | paste -s -d '\t\n' - -
    in order to concatenate consecutive lines with an intervening tab.
    
    However, the way the example uses the switches -s and -d and two `dash`
    input files is redundant. There are in fact two equivalent but simpler
    ways to achieve the desired result:
        sed = myfile | paste -s -d '\t\n' -
    uses the same style as the previous example, while
        sed = myfile | paste - -
    is arguably even simpler and illustrates the final sentence of the
    DESCRIPTION.
