That reminds me of an old mathematician joke about how one goes about 
boiling a pot of water.

Since we probably agree that the current default is more ergonomic (use 
the function at point, unless called with the prefix), maybe suggest 
that approach first, in this text?

Like: "if the name of the function you're interested in is under point, 
press M-.. Otherwise, press C-u M-. and type the function's name."
