Dired has a message:
Confirm--do you mean to use ‘*’ as a wildcard? (y or n)
if one answers "n" the message just stays in the minibuffer.

It should instead say "command aborted", else the user thinks it used
'*' in its other (text replacement) way. Which it turns out it doesn't.

emacs-version "25.2.2"
