I haven't been following this thread, so apologies if I misunderstand.
Is it a good idea to mix `yes-or-no-p'-style (minibuffer) input,
such as `yes' and `no', with `read-char'-style input, such as `!'
and `q'? I don't think so, a priori. Especially for `!', which
has worse repercussions in case of a mistake than does `y'. No?
