It depends on how frequent the action that you're wrapping in a safety
check is. Deleting files, absolutely. I'm not a fan of the alias rm to
rm -i approach. But printing documents is not as routine of an action,
and printing documents that the author thinks shouldn't be printed is even
rarer. I don't think that's the kind of warning that becomes
mind-numbing.
