, micro is nearly seven times the size of nano,
Still starts up instantly, though, and still smaller than practically every GUI editor.

$ nano -/ test.txt
nano: invalid option -- '/'
So much for that. Is this a really new option, or does it require a compilation flag that Debian doesn’t bother with?

You must be on an old or LTS Debian. The -/ flag was added in the 8.0 release of nano in mid-2024. https://packages.debian.org/stable/editors/ lists 8.4 as the current version for Debian 13 / trixie.
