I think this can lead to many false positives.  The "ask for
confirmation" behavior is better, in that it prevents inadvertent
errors that are annoying to fix.

People who prevent speed, and are sure they will never be tripped by
the above, can always make the above customization in their init
files.  But there's no need to force this on everyone.
