Thanks, but let's please find a fix that doesn't make the tail wag the
dog.  I don't want to make a change in bitch_at_user, which will
affect every possible use of it in batch mode, something that we have
been doing for eons.  If there's a particular problem with
map-y-or-n-p in batch mode, and if the scenario where you find the
problem is important enough, let's please find a solution that targets
only that special situation.

As the code clearly shows, it isn't an oversight.
