emacs-version "26.3". (maybe fixed already?)

C-x s says

  Save file ...documentation.txt? (y, n, !, ., q, C-r, d or C-h)

C-h then says

  Type SPC or =E2=80=98y=E2=80=99 to save the current buffer;
  DEL or =E2=80=98n=E2=80=99 to skip the current buffer;
  RET or =E2=80=98q=E2=80=99 to give up on the save (skip all remaining b=
uffers);
  C-g to quit (cancel the whole command);
  ! to save all remaining buffers;
  C-r to view this buffer;
  d to view changes in this buffer;
  or . (period) to save the current buffer and exit.

Problem is: C-r won't "let go of the user".

He can't just visit the buffer (to say undo his changes there.)
He is still trapped at the prompt. No C-x o won't free him temporarily.

Therefore there needs to be an additional choice:

"v to just visit that file and quit saving the rest of the files if any"

This means that map-y-or-n-p (used by save-some-buffers) should be rewritten
to rely on read-char-from-minibuffer.
