Hmm, I guess you're right.  Not sure what I was smoking:

> - it wonʼt remove one

    (y-or-n-p "foo")     => prompt is "foo (y or n) "
    (y-or-n-p "foo ")    => prompt is "foo (y or n) "

> - `yes-or-no-p' never modifies the passed prompt

    (yes-or-no-p "foo")  => prompt is "foo(yes or no) "
    (yes-or-no-p "foo ") => prompt is "foo (yes or no) "

I think the best fix here is to change `yes-or-no-p' to work the same
way as `y-or-n-p'.
