In fact it is:

    sqlite3 .tup/db 'select name from node where type=4' | xargs echo rm -f

so silly this isn't included because of philosophical objections.

tup is in some ways brilliant, and i give it kudos for actually improving on make in many ways (unlike 99% of the make-replacement-hopefuls), but man oh man do i value and prefer software devs with a more user-focused philosophy.

(an excellent example of that would be homebrew, which arguably wasn't anything special from a pure-tech perspective, but had amazingly good product sense/user focus. imagine combining that attitude & ux skills w/ the technical brilliance of tup...)
