I think this is very nicely implemented.

I know we generally use this more C-ish argument convention to document
"here are the arguments to this function", but it does actually make a
copy of the @_ array (and using @_ implies a potentially large number of
arguments).

It probably doesn't matter here, though, since add--interactive is not
performance critical, and you probably can't have more than a few dozen
entries before it becomes unreadable anyway.
