Isn't this the same issue as the one you raised in bug#31243? Which is already solved in the Git repository for Emacs 26.2? > It says that supplying C-u is the same as supplying C-u 0.

Please look at the documentation on the emacs-26 branch and tell what exactly is wrong/unclear/confusing there. Thanks.
