If someone implements such a feature and sends a patch, we will
definitely consider it.  I like the simplicity of the syntax above,
though a down side is that it doesn't allow users to add or remove
ports from the top X.  I posted some other syntax ideas (I'm not
saying they are any better) at
http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2011/q2/358.
