I think this is a bad idea. Like, a bad idea on the order of, not being
consistent about whether yes/OK is on the left or on the right.
Here's one way to do things: all dialog boxes ask you a question.
It's a yes/no question. The buttons say yes/no, ok/cancel, whatever
the custom is.
Here's another way to do things: dialog boxes ask you a question, or
make a statement. Each button describes an activity to take. Now you
have to slow down and read each button, instead of just reading the
dialog question and knowing that "bottom left corner means affirmative."
