This would help a bit: Don't accept the "--do-it" as first parameter, make it obligatory to be the last.

If someone is a programmer and is trying to disable safety features making it slightly harder to do so doesn't really seem like the solution.

  my_command() {
      command my_command "$@" --do-it
  }

Good point. Stuff like this is why I wrote "a bit". Thank you for providing an example, why it wont be enough.
