I think it is reasonable to want to skip this prompt, but I am not sure
"--force" is the right name for such an option. Usually we reserve
--force for "the tool is trying to prevent something destructive or
unusual, and the user wants to override it".

Something like --no-prompt makes more sense to me, though probably
something a little easier to type would be nice (or maybe alias "-n").
