A way to delete all unnecessary handles on straight lines

I want a way to delete all unnecessary handles on straight lines Join tool create (here’s a bug report: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/51071002).
I want to select all of those and make them lines in one click. It is very time consuming to take care of each individually.

Ah, yes, same deal. Adds one handle.
Sure, I have a plugin to kill these afterwards, but why create these in the first place...
