make "rsync -N" == "rsync --numeric-ids" ?

[Harald Dunkel]

Hi folks,

"--numeric-ids" is a lot of text and easy to be forgotten or
misspelled.

Since it is a highly important option for making backups of
remote systems via rsync I wonder if "-N" could be introduced
as an abbreviation for "--numeric-ids"? "-N" is not in use yet,
afaics.

Just a suggestion, of course. Keep on your good work.

Regards
Harri
