Anybody know? No, they are not deprecated. Presumably they are not mentioned because they are not available in some Emacs terminal sessions. That doesn't mean we shouldn't mention them - we should just point out that they might not be available in some contexts. They are particularly handy if you are using prefix args a lot or repetitively, as they use the same modifier as `C-u'. And they are somewhat easier for some people to type on some (common) keyboards.
