I thought we were actually trying to get rid of the 'bzr ignored' and
switch to something like "bzr ls --ignored", because of the
proliferation of commands.

Also, in unix style, you would use 'bzr ls --ignored -0 | xargs -0 rm'

I don't mind making it a little bit easier for users, but I'm not sure
that 'bzr ignored --delete' is the answer.

In fact, it makes more sense to me to use "bzr rm --all-ignored", since
that is the command which is doing the deleting.
