Not sure if I understand this.  The problem you describe is, as
far as I can see, that you accidently archive trees that still
contain unfinished subtrees.  The solution it seems would be a
warning that the tree contains unfinished entries.

The prefix argument to the archiving function serves a
completely different purpose.  It finds *subtrees* of the
current tree that are completely done, and archives those
subtrees.

So while I can see that someone would want to do what you propose,
I cannot see how that is the solution to the problem you describe.
