Good point. For compatibility, probably we should fall back on the old
behavior if only one argument is supplied.
That will work in practice, but it is kludgy and ugly. That is why I
didn't do this. I regret that I did not initially made y-or-n-p and
yes-or-no-p use format.
Maybe the thing is to add two new functions which are similar
but always call format.
