I meant it already works if the script supplies "y" or "n", not
literally "yes" and "no".  If you had the latter in mind, then I see
no reason for a script to supply "yes" when it knows that Emacs needs
"y".  But we could, of course, extend y-or-n-p to accept "yes" and
"no" when in batch mode.

IOW, it's a separate issue, whose solution is not necessarily to make
y-or-n-p work as yes-or-no-p.
