 LIST is a list of objects, or a function of no arguments to return the next
 object or nil.
 
-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.
-So, 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.
-PROMPTER may instead be a string, in which case the prompt is
-\(format PROMPTER OBJECT\).
+If is PROMPTER a string, the prompt is \(format PROMPTER OBJECT\).  If not
