I did have a look a couple of times, and I just keep feeling like  
we're creating something too complicated.  And that we're delaying  
0.28 again. =(

How's this proposal: let's keep the patch for ask() in the wings, and  
release 0.28 without it.  There's no real burning need for it, now  
that y_n() and prompt() behave better in non-interactive mode.   
Hopefully we can speed up the release schedule for things after 0.28,  
and we can plop ask() into one of those releases when we're happy  
with it.
