I was indeed thinking about that. I always use 'rm -rf' myself, even
when the 'f' is not necessary. Whether -I should operate in that case
is a real question.
Well, -f suppresses prompting for confirmation wrt file permissions. To
me it only seems logical that it should also suppress -I prompting. I've
always looked at -f as "don't bother me with any messages and prompts,
just do it". :)
