Good point. OTOH, I think that the code Miguel posted should probably be
given as an example of how to do a tri-dbox somewhere in the documentation
(if it isn't already - apologies if it is). With a big note saying "Don't
use yes/no/cancel", and using more useful labels with a specific situation
in the example itself.

Did that make sense?
