I thought we could do better than that, but maybe not... of the
available choices -R isn't bad. The remaining unused single ascii
letters are:
b g j k o q r y z A B G H J K L N O P Q R Y Z
Though there are some numerics also:
-1 do it in one gulp (confusable with -l, though)
Possibly:
-o do it in "one" gulp (myself I'd keep it in case there's a need
for "output")
Maybe:
-N the "opposite" of -n
-P the "opposite" of -p
so instead of, say, -nR or -pR you could just use -N or -P
