1. Typo: `y-or-on-p' should be `y-or-n-p'.

2. Suggest you put the non-nil descriptions together, instead of the
   order `t', then `nil', then `auto'.  And start each on its own line.
   E.g.:

      Non-nil means `read-answer' accepts single-character answers.
      If nil...
      If t...
      If `auto'...
