Why the force-flag and the Y/N question at all? g.remove doesn't ask and
that's just OK, why shouldn't v.db.droptable follow?
Or is it only doable for Grass 7?

Nearly all commands *refuse* to overwrite (hence --o).
g.remove is an exception (maybe a bad one).
v.db.droptable follows the mainstream behaviour which I like
(better actively say that you want to delete something that
crying the rest of the week for a non-backup'ed (big) table).
