I well understand that, when invoked from within an automatic procedure, query might be inconvenient. However, interactively, `S z' and `A z' are rather close on the keyboard, and mistakenly typing `S z' may be disastrous for those who do want to revive a careful selection of zombies before killing all the others. As far as I am concerned, the prompting is very welcome! -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
