That's awesome, it feels like an area worth exploring within the shell. If I had a magic wand and I could create an ideal shell experience, I'd love it if you could soft-execute a script in a notebook style environment where each command can be inspected and tweaked before committing the change. It feels like shells are still incredibly constrained and that they haven't evolved that much since the 90s.
The defaults are kind of crazy as well. Every OS should ship with a `trash` binary that puts a file in the Trash without actually deleting it, rather than recommending `rm`. I get some people are perfectly happy to play without guard rails, but I'm sure some of us would like a few more guard rails which we can tweak.
I think another similar innovation is how with NixOS you're supposed to be able to diff system changes between upgrades with ease. Which makes sense, since your OS config is usually based on the vendor default with a bunch of changes applied on top.
