It looks like you addressed the concerns I had with the original. I do
think, as Junio mentioned, that it makes sense for this to be
configurable. Because it's interactive by defintion, I don't know if we
have the same compatibility concerns that we usually do. So I'm not sure
if such a config option should default to off or on.
