24 Bikeshedding, but I'm thinking that it would be better to provide a
25 whole separate command for this rather than a quicker convenience
26 option -- the command would, for instance, also include @world as the
27 target by default. As for the options, i'd recommend adding --ask and
28 - --verbose
29
30 The advantage I see for it being an extra command is that it's a clear
31 one-purpose convenience command; while if we use the '-U' option
32 there'll be others that will probably add additional modifier options
33 and possibly also use it against targets other than @world; i'm not
34 sure if we'd want people to do that by default..
