I don't think so, but it wouldn't be that much code...

Exactly.

Definitely, though I still think some people might want the option of not going
through the popup/button-clicking step. But really, we should probably
implement batch operations if we're thinking along those lines. Just musing,
anyway. No need to think *quite* so much about it that we don't do anything. :)
