Yes, but point is not on the Nth line counting from EOF.

Indeed.  Like you I didn't like the Vim way, so I tried to imagine 
something better.  But I don't think TRT here is to add yet another 
command line switch, when an already existing one can be extended 
naturally to do the same thing.

Anyway, that was just a proposal, somehow I feel you don't like it, so I 
don't think it's useful to continue arguing.  I attach it again (I forgot 
a modification to the Emacs manpage in the previous one) just in case.
