Death to "hg update -C"

Hello,
As much as I love mercurial, I *really hate* "update -C"...
This is the second time I lost work due to some confusion with
hg merge, hg revert and hg update '-C'.
(extra disastrous this time where 1. failed backups and
2. I actually destroyed the work of a colleague).
So, I know the real bug is in front of the screen, touching
the keyboard. But IMHO mercurial should take extreme measures
never to loose any (outstanding) work.
Even if I say '-C', many times I don't mean it.
I suppose I'm not the only one?
Can this be fixed?
Regards,
Jelle.
