Right, that's a close call.

This is definitely an option for sophisticated users,
though we should still be careful about mentioning implementation details.

Part of the reason I chose "drain" was so such sophisticated users
in the know might search for the HCF of TCSADRAIN and tcdrain().
I was also careful to add "nonblocking" to the index,
and to add "block" in the description.
If users web search for "stty" and "TCSANOW", then they'll get the source,
and if TCSANOW is significant to them, they can easily parse
that to get the "-drain" setting.
