If no one else is attached to -n then there's certainly no need to keep it
around.  My concern is purely personal, of course--I type 'import -n' almost
daily, and I rarely use -p/-P on the commands which have it.  On the other
hand, we won't really know until it's packaged and begins to spread; and then
it'll be too late.

I'm not going to object too much.  Compared to adding -P to things like
push/pop, this is nothing.
