The effect of that modifier is totally uniform. We should not think
of it as like a prefix command. It is not similar to this issue.
A numeric argument is also a uniform modifier. However, plain C-u is
a fishy halfway case. Because we have made so many commands do
something different after C-u, semantically it makes sense, sort of,
to think of C-u WHATEVER as a different command from plain WHATEVER.
That is why that case is confusing.
