Yes, in the "user part", but I was reading the Elisp Manual and in 20.1
Introduction to Minibuffers it says
" The minibuffer's window is normally a single line; it grows
automatically if necessary if the contents require more space. "
Which I think is not the whole truth and actually might stop the user
from searching for more information.

I can not do it now, but I observed that yes-or-no-p does not have this
problem. Also if you enter some invalid answer to y-or-n-p it will write
"Please ..." in the wrong place in the minibuffer.
