Recently I noticed an increase of the usage of `--overwrite "*"` by new archlinux forum users to 'solve' issues .
examples: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=297183 & https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=297004&p
Maybe we could make it harder to use dangerous options by adding a flag that can only be set from CLI and is valid only for that one command ?
Something like
```
pacman --dangerous_options=allowed -S foo --overwrite "*"
```
Thst would raise the threshold to use dangerous options substantially without making it impossible .
