I don't know, C-u is a universal argument but it cannot be /the/
universal argument. We should let M-& be one too. I agree that the
name can be more clear on what the command actually does.

I don't agree. That's what you (or I) would use keyboard macros for.

I don't think that's a good idea, I like it just the way I wrote it.
It's simple, but it's just a kind of macro command anyway. And it
works like the Gnus command, so there is no real surprise.
