Essentially, yes.  It's sort of a dry run with extreme prejudice :-)

--dry-run should normally be designed to simulate full execution of
the command and provide useful feedback.  My --abort is perhaps one
step in that direction: it lets _most_ of the command _actually_ run
and then shoots the process in the head before it does anything
stupid :-)
