It can't, really; at least, not without losing some functionality
(e.g. files not readable for the user running dirvish won't be
backupped, and I wouldn't be surprised if the management of the vaults
might go wrong).

Hence it's not for "regular" users. Users who are smart enough to reckon
with these capabilities should have no problem whatsoever sticking
/usr/sbin/ to the front of the invocation, or perhaps even making an
alias or wrapper shell script. I don't want to be confronted with bug
reports that e.g. it doesn't backup everything, hence I will not be
changing this.

There simply are tools that are not for "everybody", ifconfig, lsof
comes to mind.
