Well, stupid me, I should have looked at my old patch.
As I said, we should really avoid renaming existing options, as
it would break third-party tools.
If the plan is to bring testing mode to iptables-restore and
iptables (via a libiptc implementation), the "testing mode" option
should be the same in both commands. -n is already used, so I propose
-S/--simulate or -T/--testing.
