He's saying that the documentation should say "if no options are passed,
you will be asked".

While at it, I think the default option should be capitalized:
Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles? (y/N)
That way, the user knows what will happen, without having to look it up
in the docs. This capitalization of the default option is pretty common
nowadays.
