"Separate prompts for each argument" is better than what?

Here, it isn't anything that _I want_.

And this thread isn't even about that. Emacs is underpowered
in this respect, and this simple interface setting a bunch of
default values and checking for some nonzero digits - 376
chars and cryptic Elisp - the `interactive' - just for that,
then just imagine if we would be prompting each variable! as you
suggest.

It is yet another area where Emacs is underpowered and this
shows it.
