Again, what do you think is missing?  `p' is the numeric prefix argument.
`P' is the raw prefix argument.

This is not the Elisp manual node that describes WHAT these things
are.  But there is a link here to the node that does that, node
`Prefix Command Arguments'

http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Prefix-Command-Arguments.html

And that's the case even in the Emacs 20 version of the manual,
which you cited.

Why on Earth would the user expect that, simply from reading that
`interactive' code `p' returns the numeric prefix argument and `P'
returns the raw prefix argument?
