Should --children-only imply -r, rather than being a no-op when -r is
missing?
I thought about it, but as there's no way to --no-recursive,
the posibility to alias rm='/bin/rm --children-only' would be void.
There are surely other corner cases I didn't think about.
E.g. I was surprised to check for children-only in a second
place in the case "dir" is already empty.
Have a nice day,
