I tested the patch and it works as advertised.

I agree with Jani that y-or-n-p would suffice for clearing all
recent searches (but yes-or-no-p is not so bad as I originally thought
as C-g can be used to stop processing (typoing 'no' is too easy ;/). 

If we could use "undo" feature to restore last clear/del then I'd agree
100% with Mark (i.e. no y-or-n-p for [del]).

In any case fix at least the style issue Mark mentioned -- any of the
yes/no queries will eventually be fine with me (as I don't know without
experience what would be the best (for me) after all).
