-'''
-
-General map/reduce style salt-runner for aggregating identical results returned
-by several different minions.
-Aggregated results are sorted by the size of the minion pools which returned
-identical results.
-
-Useful for playing the game: " some of these things are not like the others... "
-when identifying discrepancies in a large infrastructure managed by salt.
