Theoretically we could, but I'd rather keep "reset --hard"
something that people would think a bit about before actually
running (I am not enthused about giving "reset --mixed" this
feature for the same reason, but I think it is safe enough).
I'd want to avoid overloading different meanings to the --hard
form. Mis-typing checkout (say, accidentally having <RETURN>
before "-- file" part while cut & paste) would not be so
dangeous; mis-typing "reset --hard" the same way could be
disastrous.

As I said there is one bug I've fixed in my tree but the
branches were not pushed out yet.
