It is not an argument because it doesn't affect the functions' argument list the way C-u does. Maybe the term should be "prefix sequence"? Wasn't there are a proposal at one point to do something similar for C-x 4 and C-x 5 so that there didn't have to be -other-window and -other-frame variants of so many commands? -- Howard
