Yes. But invoking a command is not being a command.

Presumably you mean that using key sequence `C-x &' is equivalent to using `M-x universal-async-argument'. That's another way of saying that `C-x &' invokes command `universal-async-argument'.

If you wanted to call command `universal-async-argument' a "prefix command" you could do so. But `C-x &' is not a prefix command or any other kind of command.

> So I don't see what's wrong with "prefix command" - it is a command which precedes another command.

Command `universal-async-argument', when invoked, precedes invocation of the command bound to the key sequence read by `universal-asyn-argument'. Yes.

And using `C-x &' precedes reading of that second key sequence. But neither of those things make `C-x &' into a command, prefix, postfix, or *fix.

Thx.
