The reason that y-or-n-p took either order is because we were in the
process of converting to the new order of arguments. That was only a
temporary state; we never design things that way for real. We knew that
we were going to remove the STREAM STRING ordering long before we
actually removed it. Did you ask anyone, before you assumed it would
stay that way?
