Exactly.

Just treat the "p" (lowercase p) interactive form as the special case where
you only need to deal with numeric arguments and the default numeric
argument is 1.

If you need to deal with numeric, nil and other non-numeric arguments like
(4), (16), etc, use the "P" (uppercase p) interactive form. The "P"
interactive form passes the args to the function in their raw, untouched
form.
