I've wanted something like this for quite a while already.
What would be more useful, however, is having the yes-to-all or no-to-all
apply to a particular problem instead of being generic. Otherwise it
isn't really different from using -y or -n. The reason that is useful
is that often there is a particular problem that should all be fixed or
skipped, but you want to be prompted how to fix a different problem type.
I haven't investigated, but maybe this could be implemented in the
same way as a latch for every problem?

The "yes" and "no" here should be "_("yes")" and "_("no")" like in
ask() so they are translated.
