multi-occur-all-buffers suggestion, plus maybe a bug

[John Paul Wallington <jpw@shootybangbang.com>]

Do people think the following function, or something like it, is a
good idea ?

(defun multi-occur-all-buffers (regexp &optional nlines)
  "Show all lines in all buffers containing a match for REGEXP.
See also `multi-occur'."
  (interactive (occur-read-primary-args))
  (occur-1 regexp nlines (remove (get-buffer "*Occur*") (buffer-list))))


Also, presently C-u M-x occur will error:
Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, (4)

(as will other commands that use `occur-read-primary-args')

One way to change this is like so:

*** replace.el.orig	Wed May 15 14:49:47 2002
--- replace.el	Wed May 15 14:51:10 2002
***************
*** 612,618 ****
  	  (if (equal input "")
  	      default
  	    input))
! 	current-prefix-arg))
  
  (defun occur (regexp &optional nlines)
    "Show all lines in the current buffer containing a match for REGEXP.
--- 612,619 ----
  	  (if (equal input "")
  	      default
  	    input))
! 	(if current-prefix-arg
! 	    (prefix-numeric-value current-prefix-arg))))
  
  (defun occur (regexp &optional nlines)
    "Show all lines in the current buffer containing a match for

Is that a good way ?
