I hope that gets included as an option, as for the reason that user
shall not be locked in a minibuffer, it makes Emacs not accessible and
annoying. User has to have option to switch to other buffers, to
consult oneself or obtain more information before answering, and come
back, additionally ? for help shall be allowed and C-h m/k and other

Maybe is good to introduce `y-or-n-p-modal' function that does that
for programmers who need that specific.
