But we still have to have a good default for the -y case. We can't
stop and prompt when they've passed -y.
Add a configuration option which defines the "good default" for '-y'
operations. Possible choices are 'fail' (abort on ambiguities) and
'shortest-wins' where I suggest 'fail' as the preconfigured value for
F11+ and 'shortest-wins' for legacy installations.
