I do not think we have to break existing scripts (some of which may
still be working OK!). We can issue a deprecation warning but treat bare
-N as "-N foreground" or equivalent.

We need to preserve the "no forking" or "monolith" behavior (i.e, the
current broken -N behavior). Please do not remove it while fixing -N. It
cannot be TBD. Setting debug_options via -X can be postponed, of course.

Whether we use -N for all three modes or -N for the first two modes and
-X for the "no forking" debugging mode is not that important to me
personally, so I am not going to complicate things by supporting one or
the other :-).

Cheers,

Alex.
