Thanks for taking the time to do a patch.
Unfortunately I don't think this mechanism is practical.
One could always put this in a script:

  eval $(echo ZWNobyB5IHwgZXZpbF9pbnRlcmFjdGl2ZV9jb21tYW5kCg== | base64 -d)

which would be equivalent to running:

  echo y | evil_interactive_command

For many reasons the root user must be 100% sure
of all logic they're running.

cheers,
Pádraig.
