That makes sense. There could be the same kind of warning confirmation
defaulting to no that would repeat which fuse is about to be programmed.

As to the value passed for fuse row programming or overriding, do you think that
it's fine to force it to be hex, or that choice should be given with '0x'? I
don't really like implicit base selection, but it's clear in the help message,
and it is handy for writing MAC addresses without repeating the '0x' for each
byte.

Best regards,
Benoît
