I wouldn't object to having "clean -i", which automatically defeats the requireforce option. As to a huge single list you have to approve or reject as a whole, I am on the fence. When running "rm -i", I often wished to see something like that, but I am fairly sure that I'll call it unusable the first time I see a list with a few items I want to keep while removing all others.
