It's just an idea, and a tiny one at that, but I was momentarily
perplexed by the lines like
-n, --lines=[-]K
in head --help, making it look like the number is given in kilobytes,
when I knew that was not correct :).
So I suggest replacing K with N in the --help messages when the metavar
is standing for just a number, especially/only a number that takes a
suffix. FWIW ... --best, karl.
