Modify the -p implementation to use a user's locale, so they can respond to
the prompt in their native language.
Also make the prompt fit what POSIX asks for (?...).
This should not affect use of -p with yes(1) [as every locale I know of matches
'y' as YESEXPR as well], but that's what -t is for anyway. -p is meant to be
really used interactively.
