And certainly not one that is hard to type, because if a newbie then hits it by accident, how is he ever going to switch it off again? Having to read the help text to find that out would be infuriating.

Not sure whether nano has always done this -- if so, this is more of a feature request.

Not going to add this feature. If you find a whole bunch of people who want this feature, I /might/ reconsider.
