C-t's argument handling should be consistent with M-t and C-M-t.

Right now, the argument is equivalent to a repeat count.  That is
conceptually simple.  A priori we should prefer that.  However, if
users generally prefer your change, that would outweigh the advantage
of conceptual simplicity.

Thus, the next step is to ask people to try it and see how they
respond.
