cp -f behavior

--force (-f) not cancelling the effect of -i is insanely annoying.  i do
not understand what the point of following that behavior(per POSIX) when
most systems do not use that behavior, at least none i've used
recently.  and why should the cp command behave differently from the
other commands?

either it should be changed back, an option while building, or there
should be another way of cancelling -i
