(quick question -- how often in a given week do you run

much longer would it take you to append "-y" to those invocations?)
How much longer would it take to 'fix' all the scripts that use rm, and how
much longer would it take to clean up after the damage caused by the bugs
introduced? Unix commands are part of a programming system; standalone
interactive use is a minority use case. If you want a new command, write a
new command. You can even call it "del".
