Is there any way to attempt a "--dry-run", or is that not offered? Or
it's possibly not even useful in this particular case usage?

I've encountered "--dry-run" as a nice option a couple times lately.
That's why it came to mind just now. Would be nice to see it here,
too.

DISCLAIMER: Where available, "--dry-run" is still not perfect. I've
seen it gloss over, i.e. not mention/reference at all, some forgotten
action that I had specifically needed to test-drive first before
attempting for reals.
