I don't know. I did not ask for this, but Juri's remark (that with a
default configuration the confirmation uses more keystrokes than the
command itself) makes sense to me. And setting the user option has a
global effect, not just on this particular command. But it's up to the
maintainers to decide what's the right way to go.
