How to overwrite output files in SQLcl Liquibase?

Question

I am learning Liquibase, exporting Oracle Apex application like this:

PS D:\projects\RDNA2\db\rdna2-apex> sql rdna2@rdna2
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dfile.encoding=UTF8


SQLcl: Release 23.2 Production on Fri Sep 22 10:50:12 2023

SQL> lb generate-apex-object -applicationid 200 -split

It generates files just fine. But next time I do this it make new files. I found --overwrite-output-file parameter for Liquibase, but it doesn't work in SQLcl version.

We don't support that option, you'll need to start with an empty directory.

We have that request logged as an enhancement, and I don't see why we couldn't enable that behavior.
