I raised precisely that point, but with a different solution - see thread
"Why act from point forward by default, instead of whole buffer?" My
proposal was to act on the whole buffer unless the region is active.
Richard answered the question Why? about the status quo (which was really
meant as Why not change?) with "historical behavior" and said he didn't want
to change it. Perhaps he will go along with your M-0 proposal. I'd rather be
able to act on the buffer without any prefix arg, but M-0 is better than
nothing - good idea.
