Hitting the delete key isn't that hard, surely ;-)
It is not a request I have ever seen before, and if you checked the box
by mistake, it would be a disaster, at least in terms of wasted time and
bandwidth.
BTW, if you want to delete a WC, you should either empty your recycle
bin regularly or shift-delete to avoid the recycle bin. Subversion WCs
contain a lot of small files which can really hurt recycle bin
performance, and that will make *every* delete slow.
