One nice thing would be if you could provide an .elpaignore file so that
the screenshot is not included in the tarball.

Your user options all lack types, that should be addressed.  You should
probably also run checkdoc and address those issues.

My general question (and the reason I did not respond to the issue the
first time I saw your message), is that I am not sure what this package
provides over built-in functionality like yes-or-no-p or
read-multiple-choice.  Is this a library for another package of yours?
