Sadly, from what I've read, I think you would be breaking specified MRI 
behaviour
by suppressing duplicates in JRuby.

You've probably seen these posts --

Johan Holmberg describes shell behaviour:
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/vframe.rb/ruby/ruby-core/16853?16636-17113+split-mode-vertical

Vladimir Sizikov reports the same Perl behaviour (in the same thread):
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/vframe.rb/ruby/ruby-core/16865?16636-17113+split-mode-vertical


I'm just some random dude that thinks we're stuck with it. ;)
