No, they're not equivalent commands; the first reads a file, which means it's
reading directly from the file and seeking in it (and thus doesn't support
pipes), while the latter "captures" from a file, which means it writes to a
temporary file and reads from that, so there should be no expectation that the
code path is the same.

This doesn't mean it shouldn't *work*, it just means that, no, theoretically
they should *not* be equivalent commands in the sense of doing the exact same
thing.
