Just as -E supplements -e to avoid breaking backwards compatibility,
new -N and -P flags could be introduced as safe alternatives to -n and -p.

That said, I suggest the backwards compatibility standards applied to one-
liners may be less strict than those for big programs, so perhaps -n and -p
could just change.
