> Going with this patch sounds good, but to make sure, I polled several
people here, and they all seemed to think that having to add a --del-all
or --del-record flag at the end would be better as it would be less
prone to failure where admins would accidentally delete a entire record
because they didn't specify anything after the "<zone> <record>"
