To a user who explicitly _asked_ to run the interactive mode, I find
these four warning lines that shout at the user in all caps way
overkill. I would have expected the output to begin with a line to
explain what it is listing (e.g. "Cleaning the following files:"),
the list and then
Remove (Yes/no/edit/?) ?
The existing "add -p" prompt uses this trick to hint the user that a
further help is available by typing "?", and it is a good example to
follow.
