#:docstring y_or_n_p:
# Usage: y_or_n_p QUERY
#
# Print QUERY on stderr, then read stdin for a y-or-n response.  Actually,
# user may type anything they like, but first character must be a `y', `n',
# `q', or `!', otherwise the question is repeated until such an answer is
# obtained.  
#
# If user typed `y', y_or_n_p returns 0.
#
# If user typed `n', y_or_n_p returns 1.
#
# If user typed `!', y_or_n_p returns 2.  This is an indication to the
#  caller that no more queries should be made.  Assume `y' for all the rest. 
#
# If user typed `q', y_or_n_p returns 3.  This is an indication to the
#  caller that no more queries should be made.  Assume `n' for all the rest.
