it's a hard call, truly. However the meaning behind -y is obvious.
Answer 'yes' to all questions.
so if -y is set, then assume the user has consented to the action. To do
otherwise would be inconsisent.
if -y is not set and stdin is not a tty, then exit with error about
needing a user confirmation.
sound reasonable?
-sv
