If you were, your comments would have been shorter

- `y-or-n-p' has, since emacs 24.3 or so, appended a space to the prompt
if there wasnʼt one
- `yes-or-no-p' doesnʼt mess with the prompt

This discussion is about the documentation of those two facts, which
needs adjusting since itʼs currently incorrect. There was a suggestion
by me to maybe align `yes-or-no-p' behaviour (what you call "dwim") to
match `y-or-n-p', but since thatʼs 'legacy' I doubt itʼs going to be
done.
