The -f option has not been removed. In fact it's used in no fewer than
24 places in our test suite. It's simply been deprecated.

We had a long discussion about whether the -f behavior was actually
useful last February and found that -f was almost universally a
hindrance, to the point that everyone who used it used -f ALWAYS, thus
nullifying it.
