Thanks, John. This wasn't something I feel strongly about, so if you're
opposed, that's enough for me to withdraw the suggestion. I can roll my own
`universal-argument and `universal-argument-more' if I really want to;
obviously it's easier (for me) the less code I maintain outside the upstream
sources, but it's no big deal. I hadn't thought about the point that lots of
code outside Emacs and even ELPA is probably also counting on it being 4, but
now that you mention that, it makes me kind of take your side rather than mine
anyway :-).
Best regards,
