Comment (by pfalcon):
This is crazy, internets are full of question how to disable this flaming
interactive mode, and years thru, it's still not solved, and now there's
discussion "how to detect it". Being smarter than a user is highly
optional, so just let user tell what one wants with -non-interactive.
Don't forget that being non-interactive means not only not reading from
stdin, but also not outputting that stupid progress indicator which
otherwise doesn't allow to capture clean and nice log, and instead non-
deterministically intersperses itself with it:

Thanks for thinking with perspective on how users can use your software!
