I see nothing in any of the doc (doc string, Emacs manual, Elisp manual) where
we talk about `C-x RET c' being a "prefix argument". And we should not, IMO. It
has nothing to do with a prefix argument, except that it reads a key sequence
and handles reading a prefix argument in doing that. It certainly is not a
prefix argument for the command it is bound to, nor does it provide a prefix
arg for the command it is bound to.
Even `C-u' (`universal-argument') is not a prefix argument. It is a command
that begins reading a prefix argument and that, possibly together with other
commands (such as `digit-argument') provides that prefix argument to a followup
command.
