(y/n) seems to be redundant: y-or-n-p prints the options by itself.

Seems reasonable to me. But I still think that one-or-many does not
have a lot of sense since there is the one-case function already.
Is it possible to call it by something like C-u C-u M-x
org-babel-remove-result-one-or-many or by a custom keystroke and avoid
the interactive prompt and have it to clean all the result keeping the
keyword (without writing a function or using lambda)?
As a novice I like interactive prompt because you can be lead through
the choices, but I do not want to be annoyed by them when I become
expert and have the answer ready and it is almost always the same one.
If not, no worries, I think I will wrap in a custom one.
Thanks again,
Daniele
