Nice.

Additionally, I think -J should ignore the system rcfile, /etc/nanorc.
Currently there is no way to ignore that file while still making use of
an rcfile.  Running with -J ~/.nanorc would then allow the user to avoid
loading all available syntaxes (what distros are likely to do by default)
and just load the ones that he/she uses.  Nano is meant to be small; let's
allow it to be small also when running.
