wdired provides one user-level function `wdired-change-to-wdired-mode'
to start editing the file names and two functions to exit wdired-mode:
`wdired-finish-edit' and `wdired-abort-changes' with the former
committing the changes and the latter aborting them. Both return
wdired to dired mode.
I proposed to add one user-level function which depending on the
user's answer to the question about accepting changes would call
either `wdired-finish-edit' or `wdired-abort-changes'. And an option
which will allow to assume that the user always wants to accept the
changes by answering `yes' and calling `wdired-finish-edit'.
