It is a _nice_ idea, but I'm not sure it is a _good_ idea.

Using the prefix arg for this purpose takes away the simple way to
select the "old behaviour" shortcut (which Eli suggested as the way to
go).

One thing we could (should?) do is to enter the final command from
non-C-u usage into the grep-find-history, so it would be easily
accessible (for tweaking) on a subsequent use of C-u M-x grep-find
in case the first run didn't give the desired results.

So tweak the grep-find-command-template instead...
