The function name is not good. `read-answer' suggests reading an answer
to any question. This is very far from that. This is (IIUC) only about
reading an answer to a yes/no question (typically a confirmation question).
`read-confirmation' would be much clearer, as any yes/no question can
pretty much be considered a question asking for confirmation.
(`read-yes-no' would be more exact, but for some (given history) it
would suggest reading the inputs `yes' and `no', and not just reading
anything that is interpreted as yes or no.)
Anyway, as I made clear, I'm not crazy about this fix.
If we want to generalize reading yes/no questions we should do so
in a better way, including providing an easy way for the possible
answers to be expressed in other languages than English.
