Ten ^Ds will still exit. This is a safety feature in case the terminal
*really* goes away, as opposed to the user manually sending EOF, but it
can also be used to log out.

No. Two reasons: first, the options that can only be set on the
command line are very special ones that determine where commands come
from (and hence can't be meaningfully changed). Second, not accepting
`set -n` would make a traditional shenanigan involving .profile
impossible.
(There's also the trifling issue of POSIX conformance, but we tend not
to be too concerned about that here.)
