There aren't any standard dialogs in PyGUI with 4 buttons,
so that problem doesn't arise. :-)

I could provide some names, Yes = 1, No = 0, etc. But
since you can override the titles of the buttons, these
names wouldn't always be correct.

But I've tried to choose easily-remembered magic numbers
with boolean compatibility. :-)
