# Ask a Yes/No question, and way for a reply.
#
# This is a general-purpose function to ask Yes/No questions in Bash, either with or without a default
# answer. It keeps repeating the question until it gets a valid answer.
#
# @param {string} prompt    The question to ask the user.
# @param {string} [default] Optional. "Y" or "N", for the default option to use if none is entered.
# @param {int}    [timeout] Optional. The number of seconds to wait before using the default option.
#
# @returns {bool} true if the user replies Yes, false if the user replies No.
