Subject: [PATCH] Remove the nonsensical "-s - -" in the third example; quirk
 reported by Redouan Ait Mallouk <raitmallouk at gmail dot com>.

The paste(1) utility allows two equivalent solutions for many tasks
involving only one input stream; while here, make that more obvious
by always showing both solutions.
