M-\ does not work with prefix argument as documented

Hi 

emacs -Q -D

Insert a line like the following:

otto      foo
       ^

Place the cursor approximately where the accent is.  Type M-- M-\ and
all white space is deleted instead of only the one on the left hand
side.

Could you, please, also make the command symmetric? For example
negative arguments are killing on the left hand side of the point and
positive arguments on the left hand side.  The default would remain as
is.  (There was recently a request--unrelated to M-\--for such a
feature on gnu.emacs.help, killing white space left or right of the
cursor).
