I think the objection to that is that it's completely unexpected (is
that what the u stands for? ;-) But I don't have a strong opinion --
given that some people use -p for port, and others use -p to mean "not
promiscuous" (what we really need to do is go back in time and fix
that decision, but never mind that), you already have to do -? (or is
that -h) on everything to figure out what the options _really_ are.  I
don't think you can make everyone happy.
