Takes args PROMPTER ACTOR LIST, and optional args HELP and ACTION-ALIST. LIST is a list of objects, or a function of no arguments to return the next object or nil. If PROMPTER is a string, the prompt is \(format PROMPTER OBJECT\). If not a string, 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 may be nil to ignore the object or non-nil to act on the object without asking the user. ACTOR is a function of one arg (an object from LIST), which gets called with each object that the user answers `yes' for. If HELP is given, it is a list (OBJECT OBJECTS ACTION), where OBJECT is a string giving the singular noun for an elt of LIST; OBJECTS is the plural noun for elts of LIST, and ACTION is a transitive verb describing ACTOR. The default is \(\"object\" \"objects\" \"act on\"\). At the prompts, the user may enter y, Y, or SPC to act on that object; n, N, or DEL to skip that object; ! to act on all following objects; ESC or q to exit (skip all following objects); . (period) to act on the current object and then exit; or \\[help-command] to get help. If ACTION-ALIST is given, it is an alist (KEY FUNCTION HELP) of extra keys that will be accepted. KEY is a character; FUNCTION is a function of one arg (an object from LIST); HELP is a string. When the user hits KEY, FUNCTION is called. If it returns non-nil, the object is considered \"acted upon\", and the next object from LIST is processed. If it returns nil, the prompt is repeated for the same object. Final optional argument NO-CURSOR-IN-ECHO-AREA non-nil says not to set `cursor-in-echo-area' while prompting. This function uses `query-replace-map' to define the standard responses, but not all of the responses which `query-replace' understands are meaningful here. Returns the number of actions taken."
