Please be clear on _why_ and _what_ you cannot agree with.
The point we're making, is that from the user's perpective, this:
foofooo? (y or n) <enter>
Please answer y or n.
foofooo? (y or n) n <enter>
<action cancelled>
doesn't look any worse than:
foofooo? (y or [n]) <enter>
<action cancelled>
GDB uses 'query' (defaulting to yes), in other desctructive
situations, such as the old:
(gdb) quit
The program is running. Quit anyway (and kill it)? (y or n)
or the old:
(gdb) run
The program being debugged has been started already.
Start it from the beginning? (y or n)
How is precord different?
We very seriously need a GDB HIG.
