In less 436-1 (Squeeze Testing), this shows up as:
-n -N .... --line-numbers --LINE-NUMBERS
Don't use line numbers.
Perhaps the bug report should have said that the -n and -N options should
be on different lines, like for example the -o and -O options.
less --help also does not list:
-C or --CLEAR-SCREEN
-K or --quit-on-intr
--no-keypad
--follow-name
