Uh-oh!
That's exactly why I didn't implement this in earlier versions: this
is a big, big security risk!
Executing something without asking the user first is a NO-NO. It
doesn't matter if its useful or not. And it doesn't matter if its
optional.

Is there a specific reason you implemented this?
If not, I'd rather revert this change.
