It's a good idea.

Nearly :-)

I only mean you could use either 'nn' or 'N', equally.  To be honest, the=20
former appeals a little more as an extention to the existing command, while=
=20
the latter seems to be a bit more distinct, although I don't actually have=
=20
another suggestion for the latter at the moment either.  If you implement i=
t=20
though, I suspect you can use any letter you choose, certainly at first...
