I can think of at least one reason to insert a dialog box at the bottom of the document before circling back around. If I have fixed something up the way I like it, it is readily possible to blow it away with an unintended replace that covers the territory I just worked on, like eliminating spaces. However, since we do have the option of selected files, then this should not be a problem given a little prior thought. There is only so far we can go in protecting ourselves without throwing in unnecessary dialog boxes at the end of the document.
Nothing is foolproof given a sufficient fool and that was me when I was trying to work on formatting and knocked out all the paragraphs in 400 footnotes with a replace all.
The fly in the ointment is that you can not undo a replace all for technical reasons.
