Between 'n' and 'y', I am in favour of the latter, but at the same time I
have to wonder if there are other commands that would want "Assume yes"
option.  It could be that this single command that prompts for "Is this
Ok" is an oddball and giving it an "interactive" option to trigger the
current behaviour might make things more consistent.  I dunno.
