Yep, which is what the patch over at bug#35564#11 does.  Now it's mostly
a matter of deciding whether we want to solve this bug this way (IMO:
not if someone can simply come up with a better warning and do away with
my highlighted-prompt shenanigans).

If we do, I'll add a proper patch series to this report, to

1. fix y-or-n-p with add-face-text-property,
2. tweak dired's warning using text properties.
