And we should not, IMO. It has nothing to do with a prefix argument, except that it reads a key sequence and handles reading a prefix argument in doing that. It certainly is not a prefix argument for the command it is bound to, nor does it provide a prefix arg for the command it is bound to. > > Even `C-u' (`universal-argument') is not a prefix argument. It is a command that begins reading a prefix argument and that, possibly together with other commands (such as `digit-argument') provides that prefix argument to a followup command. I don't think you answered my question, did you?
