On the other hand, yes-or-no-p has another difference from y-or-n-p.
y-or-n-p reads one and only one character.  If it's a "y" or "Y", t, else
nil.  That includes characters like C-x .

I am very happy to be allowed to switch buffers, fix things, etc., in those
cases where emacs uses yes-or-no-p , thank you!
