That is probably a nice addition but a literal '$' is rather hard to type
from the shell.  I thought "-L n," already meant the same thing as
"starting at line n thru the end"?

It appears that this, when applied to v1.7.2 (with minimum compilation
fixes), does not pass its own self test.  I haven't looked at the details
but will queue the series to 'pu'.
