+;; map-y-or-n-p is a general-purpose question-asking function.
+;; It asks a series of y/n questions (a la y-or-n-p), and decides to
+;; apply an action to each element of a list based on the answer.
+;; The nice thing is that you also get some other possible answers
+;; to use, reminiscent of query-replace: ! to answer y to all remaining
+;; questions; ESC or q to answer n to all remaining questions; . to answer
+;; y once and then n for the remainder; and you can get help with C-h.

+(defun map-y-or-n-p (prompter actor list &optional help action-alist
+ no-cursor-in-echo-area)
+ "Ask a series of boolean questions.
+Takes args PROMPTER ACTOR LIST, and optional args HELP and ACTION-ALIST.
+
+LIST is a list of objects, or a function of no arguments to return the next
+object or nil.
+
+If PROMPTER is a string, the prompt is \(format PROMPTER OBJECT\). If not
+a string, PROMPTER is a function of one arg (an object from LIST), which
+returns a string to be used as the prompt for that object. If the return
+value is not a string, it may be nil to ignore the object or non-nil to act
+on the object without asking the user.
+
+ACTOR is a function of one arg (an object from LIST),
+which gets called with each object that the user answers `yes' for.
+
+If HELP is given, it is a list (OBJECT OBJECTS ACTION),
+where OBJECT is a string giving the singular noun for an elt of LIST;
+OBJECTS is the plural noun for elts of LIST, and ACTION is a transitive
+verb describing ACTOR. The default is \(\"object\" \"objects\" \"act on\"\).
+
+At the prompts, the user may enter y, Y, or SPC to act on that object;
+n, N, or DEL to skip that object; ! to act on all following objects;
+ESC or q to exit (skip all following objects); . (period) to act on the
+current object and then exit; or \\[help-command] to get help.
+
+If ACTION-ALIST is given, it is an alist (KEY FUNCTION HELP) of extra keys
+that will be accepted. KEY is a character; FUNCTION is a function of one
+arg (an object from LIST); HELP is a string. When the user hits KEY,
+FUNCTION is called. If it returns non-nil, the object is considered
+\"acted upon\", and the next object from LIST is processed. If it returns
+nil, the prompt is repeated for the same object.
+
+Final optional argument NO-CURSOR-IN-ECHO-AREA non-nil says not to set
+`cursor-in-echo-area' while prompting.
+
+This function uses `query-replace-map' to define the standard responses,
+but not all of the responses which `query-replace' understands
+are meaningful here.
+
+Returns the number of actions taken."
