I'm with Justin on this one. I would view a script trying to
mess with /cores as a hostile act. PG cores on macOS tend to
be extremely large and can fill up your disk fairly quickly
if you don't know they're being accumulated. I think it's okay
to suggest in the documentation that people might want to allow
cores to be dropped, but the script has NO business trying to
force that.
