Subject: Should prefix variable be used in function argument list
Date: Fri, 8 Jul 2022 19:12:17 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <N6Tn2zv--3-2@tutanota.com> (raw)

When one wants to use the prefix argument when calling an interactive function, should one include a prefix variable in the function argument list?  

Furthermore, should the prefix argument be defined as optional?  How would one call the function non-interactively for such function?  Is it always necessary to have the prefix argument as the first argument in the function argument list?
