Why? setting up a proxy (== letting the browsers know that they DO use a
proxy) is much better than intercepting their connections and lying to them
(they think they connect direct to the server, while they access proxy)

squid can't intercept HTTPS connections and there's no reason for this
because it even can't do anything with encrypted connections.

where do you redirect HTTPS conections? to port 433 of MS ISA proxy?
in such case squid could detect and forward connections (or probably also
refuse them) but it would require ad this feature to squid. You can fill a
wishlist bugreport, but developers will probably refuse it with WONTFIX.
