Not to start painting a bikeshed, but: I'm not so sure "all" is
redundant. If prompted with "Remove 50 arguments?", I'd like to choose
the option "yes, and if I provided more than 50 arguments (how would I
know, the shell did most of the work), please also remove those"; the
yesno() library function does not provide that option :-)

If "all" must go, "the" could take its place. With the proper
pluralization, that would probably also make a nicer prompt in the
n_files==1 case.
