also, why doesn't rm have better limiting functionality for scripting use? Or if it does why is it not used? Imagine this command
rm -r --limit 25M
if rm sees the potential deletion set to exceed 25Meg it returns without deleting anything. I know that I would often use this, or maybe default it to something so that I didn't accidentally delete WAY more than I intended to.
