did wings_ask really have to get renamed to wings_dialog ?

Just curious. Unfortunately for me ... this was a painful transition. Probably touching 20 files in 5 directories. All handled by hand with text editor, one file at a time.

Oh well. One reason why I used the wings_ask:dialog rather than hide with an import was for clarity in my own code. I do have a ml_dialogplus:dialog ... that is very similar in signature. So I used the wings_ask module name every time ... for that clarity.

I will admit that wings_dialog is a better name ... but wing_ask was really not that crazy.

Yes, because they do not work the same you really need to change the code.
