Looks fine. Indeed it is hard to describe concisely. I'll make two
suggestions but I'm not sure if they make things more clear or more confusing:

1. change <<with the "confirm" argument>> to <<with the newly added "confirm" argument >>.

2. After "big insets are selected on the first call and deleted only on the second" put <<(this behavior was the default for 2.3.x but now requires the "confirm" argument).>>
