Since -D means "I know what I'm doing, get out of my way", maybe we
should continue if any worktree has the branch checked out by
detaching it?

(Yes I'm carefully tip toeing around the deleted worktree issue since
"git worktree remove" is coming. After that point, running "worktree
prune" before "branch -D" does not sound so bad)
