We have had this for quite a long time but I have two niggling worries,
one minor, another one showstopper from maintainability point of view.

 - With --confirm=never the program still seems to talk with the terminal.
   I think with --confirm=neber we should not ask but just fail.

 - This does not hook into the confirmation framework the program already
   has, and does not have any way to turn it off.
