Description

To simplify scripting there should be a --force option when running docker create --name=. The implied behaviour would be that the provided name would be used, any previously created container with the same name be deleted.
Actually I was surprised that isn't already supported.

Why not just use docker container rm before docker create?

To have a symmetric user interface, many docker commands support a --force switch.
