Trim more cookies, by playing with different hash functions,
...
e.g., by trimming all non-alphabet characters and whitespace,
converting to lowercase, and considering only first (or last)
N letters (maybe only consonants). The fortune editor then
displays all fortunes that have the same hash, and allows to
remove one of them. The rest is written to stdout.
