I like that much better.
Perhaps `left' and `right' should be called `left-only' and `right-only'
to emphasize what they do (when I first looked at the choices, and saw
`left', I immediately thought `left what?' -- even though I already knew
what to expect!).
I also think it would be clearer to use `both' instead of `default',
but that would actually be a slight misnomer, since the implemenation
actually does just revert to the default, and that might make the name
wrong if the default is ever changed. What do you think?

Well, I like the prompting behavior better, and Richard approved the
name `toggle-fringe', but I'm not sure the name `toggle-fringe' makes
much sense if it doesn't actually `toggle'... :-(
One alternative would be to use the name `set-fringe-mode' to set the
per-frame fringe style -- this is also consistent with existing
practice, e.g., `set-default-font', `set-background-color', etc., and
with this name, prompting for a value actually make sense. :-)
A last niggling point is that the (interactive ...) prompting code
should probably be put into a function, since it's duplicated in two
commands now...
Thanks,
-Miles
