New description:
Running `sage -ba` from the shell gives
{{{
*** WARNING ***
You are about to rebuild the entire Sage library.
This will take a significant amount of time.
Do you want to proceed? [y/n]
}}}
Since this waits forever for user input, it is harder to use in non-
interactive scripts. However, there is `sage -ba-force`, which does not
wait. This ticket just adds a note about `-ba-force` to the prompt above.
