Actually, `C-h' is useful in `y-or-n-p' as well for the same reasons.
For example, `C-h b' in a `y-or-n-p' prompt shows:
Key Binding
y act
n skip
C-l recenter
...
BTW, (info "(emacs) Yes or No Prompts") says:
With both types of yes-or-no query the minibuffer behaves as
described in the previous sections; you can recenter the selected window
with ‘C-l’, scroll that window (‘C-v’ or ‘PageDown’ scrolls forward,
‘M-v’ or ‘PageUp’ scrolls backward)
But in fact ‘C-l’ doesn't scroll the window, ‘C-v’ and ‘PageDown’ don't
scroll forward, and ‘M-v’ and ‘PageUp’ don't scroll backward. Should they?
