Rc has a nice property that the input is not rescanned,
and consequently the parse errors are detected when they
are read. 

Under this light, I thought that a flag '-n' that causes
rc to read the commands but not to execute them, could
be useful for checking rc scripts. There are other flags
that other shells support, but this one did not appear
too strongly as a hack.

What do the other (un)satisfied customers think about this?
