The other problem is scale: the standard "save me" for tools like this is a --doit and --no-really-i-mean-it and defaulting to a "this is what I would've done" mode. That falls apart the moment the list of actions is longer then the screen but you're expecting that: after all how can you really tell the difference unless the console scrolls for a really long time?

There's solutions to that, but of course these sorts of tools all come into existence well before the system reaches a size where how they work becomes dangerous.
