Yes, but IMHO, in such a case, -i should prompt the user whenever
there is an immediate destructive effect, i.e. with <file> and with -r
(with -e, the user should see what he modifies, so that I don't think
this is necessary). This would be more consistent. Note that just like
"crontab -r", the user could type "crontab -" by mistake.
Also, I think that the user should be prompted only when the user
already has a crontab. Currently, "crontab -r -i" prompts the user
is any case.
