A while ago I considered asking for a few --force-* options that allow
finer control about what things are acceptable that usually are not.
Their names would be something like --force-overwrite,
--force-symlink, --force-links and so on. That would allow overriding
xz's sane defaults in certain aspects only without using --force and
doing something potientially really harmful and undesired.
