Bingo. Exactly what I suspected:

So much for:

RMS is not "many", but I think the point has been made. If we allow `C-u'
pass-through then we should also allow users to turn it off. The next question
is what the default value should be. I'd vote for pass-through by default, but
I don't feel strongly about that.
