Well, as it stands 'autoarg-kp-mode' is broken.  It enables
'autoarg-mode', which kind of defeats the point of having a separate
mode to only enable this behaviour for the keypad.  I suggest
deprecation as a better alternative than leaving it in a broken state
or spending any time to fix it.

I don't know if that's in line with our deprecation practices, but I
would assume there is some room to make judgement calls.

Best regards,
