Similar, but I don't think that it's the same bug.  In my case, I
really want the interactive version to avoid asking the question and
instead just show me a message about it; possibly with a `ding', maybe
even a non-macro-terminating one, which is what I hacked the function
to do in my own environment.  (In fact, that #10726 sounds like more
of a real bug, where this one is strictly a feature request.)

A nice way to resolve this would be to have a variable that can hold
`ask' to do the same as now, `nil' to do nothing, or a function that
will get called (making it possible to do more things like
automatically reverting the buffer).

I'd be happy to submit such a simple patch if it helps.
