+1. They serve different purposes, and they are both needed. At the
same time. While I understand that someone might want to make
yes-or-no-p behave like y-or-n-p all the time, someone else (like, say,
me) might want to use y-or-n-p in places where just a confirmation is
a nice thing to have, and yes-or-no-p in places where you really want to
make sure that the user does not accidentally press `y'.
