bug#5423: Multiline y-or-n prompt in files.el

[Stefan Monnier]

Package: Emacs
Version: 23.1.91

find-file-noselect has a multiline y-or-n-p prompt if the file is
already visited and modified (and in a different rawness).  That only
works when the minibuffer can be resized, sadly.  In my case (separate
minibuffer), I only see the beginning of the prompt.

The file TP1-plans is already visited literally,
meaning no coding system decoding, format conversion, or local variables.
You have asked to visit it normally,
but Emacs can only visit a file in one way at a time.

Do you want to revisit the file normally now? (y or n)
