True.  The problem is that -N is the "standard" switch for two things -
a node identification and a process name.  Since the CRP command has
both switches, something has to give.

One could either argue that such doubling up on switch meanings is
either poor implementation or unavoidable (i.e.  one wants a set of
switches describing every possible option which are unique, meaningful
and short - which may be an overconstrained problem).  Not having a
crystal ball, I won't guess at which reason applies.
