"Ask a series of boolean questions.
Takes args PROMPTER ACTOR LIST, and optional args HELP and ACTION-ALIST.
If PROMPTER is a string, the prompt is \(format PROMPTER OBJECT\). If not
a string, PROMPTER is a function of one arg (an object from LIST), which
returns a string to be used as the prompt for that object. If the return
-value is not a string, it is eval'd to get the answer; it may be nil to
-ignore the object, t to act on the object without asking the user, or a
-form to do a more complex prompt.
+value is not a string, it may be nil to ignore the object or non-nil to act
+on the object without asking the user.
ACTOR is a function of one arg (an object from LIST),
which gets called with each object that the user answers `yes' for.
\"acted upon\", and the next object from LIST is processed. If it returns
nil, the prompt is repeated for the same object.
+Final optional argument NO-CURSOR-IN-ECHO-AREA non-nil says not to set
+`cursor-in-echo-area' while prompting.
+
This function uses `query-replace-map' to define the standard responses,
but not all of the responses which `query-replace' understands
are meaningful here.
Returns the number of actions taken."
