A better example is ask-user-about-supersession-threat in userlock.el
that using read-char-from-minibuffer displays such prompt:
file changed on disk; really edit the buffer? (y, n, r or C-h)
Please use a similarly short prompt:
1 occurrence of ‘?’ will not be substituted. Proceed? (y, n or ?)
where '?' will show the Dired help window.
This will simplify the user interface to make it less confusing
(no more choice for two separate help texts).
