I do not like the way it works now, since the GUI is not consistent
with the terminal version. Would it be possible to add a "Cancel"
button to the GUI dialogue box, and select this button if confirm() is
called with argument 0 as above? I am not sure how terminal vim
*should* respond to other out-of-range arguments (e.g., 4 instead of 0
in the above example).
I notice that the GUI confirm() returns 0 if I cancel the dialogue
box with <Esc>. Ditto for terminal vim, but then I have to type <Esc>
twice, which is odd. (Yes, I did wait more than 'timeoutlen' ms.)
