It may be the same from the programmer's perspective, but not from the
user's. Deleting a file is much more severe than just deleting a few
lines. Perhaps there should be a warning if more than a certain number
(which could be a configurable threshold) of lines is being deleted.
An analogy from another world: If you try to format your hard drive in
DOS, it warns you first. It doesn't do that if it's a floppy.
