I think we should simply try letting the user provide all possible
values of the FRAME argument in interactive invocations, by using
different forms of 'C-u'.

That'd be too radical, IMO. I'd rather we described the exceptional
cases, because I think they would be rare. Can you enumerate those
exceptions?

I think it would be better to rework the interpretation of the prefix
arg so it makes sense.
Thanks.
