The user in the CLI still has to type an explicit 'y'
for that to happen.  The default only applies when there's
no terminal.  The right question to be asking is: what should
be the default answer in batch scripts.

Keep in mind that this all relates to the fact that there
is no "record status" command, that scripts and frontends
could use to query the record status, and be able to decide
upfront what to do, instead of gdb doing a query after the
fact.  Last time I brought that up, it was agreed that it
would be a good thing to have.  Anyone working on that?
