Before implementing, some considerations should be made:

* Shall we use "-n" (and expand its meaning) or "invent" a new command line
  option?
  
  In any case, we do some addition to the documented standard interface
  of jed.
  
  - some users might want to switch of the parsing of the .jedrc
    file, not the Debian setup. Expanding "-n" prevents this.
    
  - a new command line option, say "--no-conf" would be interpreted as
    a filename by jed. However, the chance someone wants to edit a file
    "--no-conf" (or some even more specific name) is small.
    
    We would have to add some hook to close the empty buffer in this
    case.

* Shall we look for "-n" (or our replacement) only at the first position, or
  browse the whole array with
  
  if (length(where(__argv == "-n")))
  
    

I would vote for a new option on any position.

For the name, I'd prefer some gnu style long option.
