Thanks for all the suggestions.
I think NUMBER is a bit long, and reduces the space for the description,
or it my destroy the aligning.

My suggestion is NUM (which is also used in grep(1) BTW).
Patch attached ... it's just not so tiny because I also fixed the order
of the options of tail in the Texinfo manual.

Have a nice day,
