    ### the field separator can be given as its sole argument,
    ### it defaults to a single space otherwise.
    ###

    ### this next example uses `sv` to only print the lastmost line
    ### matching a pattern in each file. in other words, it uses
    ### the filename printed by grep as the key in its key-value pairs.
    ###
    ### ```
    ### $ cd ~/play/hash && grep -r 'ing$' . | sv :
    ### ./dic_win32.txt:WriteProfileString
    ### ./cracklib-small.txt:zoning
    ### ./english-words.txt:zooming

    ### **TODO:** rename because busybox(1) sv already exists.
