(info "(coreutils) nl invocation") says
     ‘pBRE’
          number only lines that contain a match for the basic regular
          expression BRE.  *Note Regular Expressions: (grep)Regular
          Expressions.

OK, but add a new functionality:
     ‘PBRE’
          Do NOT number lines that contain a match for the basic regular
          expression BRE.  *Note Regular Expressions: (grep)Regular
          Expressions.
