I've given `read-multiple-choice' a try and the help text doesn't look
very good if any of the descriptions is a bit long.  Another problem I
saw is that if the help text contains a reference to a variable, the
rendered hyperlink doesn't work.

It's a pity because I think this function is a good way to simplify and
homogenize this use case in Emacs.
