} There was a patch from Bart back in zsh-workers/4268 to fix a problem

} work, i.e. neg-argument won't function at all.
Hmm. I believe you're right. I changed the 3.1.4 code to match the
equivalent code in 3.0.5, but I missed that digitargument() zeros
zmod.tmult when MOD_TMULT isn't flagged. (3.0.5 never zeroes zmult,
and always multiplies by it.)
} I couldn't see a way of doing this without
} adding a new flag, though that doesn't mean there isn't one.
Has the whole multiplier thing become more complicated than necessary in
3.1.4? MOD_TMULT obviously does more than the `gotmult' global in 3.0.5
did.
In any case, Peter's patch is preferable to mine.
} Is there any enthusiasm for upgrading universal-argument to do what
} emacs does, that is to take any following digits as part of the
} argument?
YES! That would be so much easier than having to clamp down Alt or hit
ESC repeatedly to enter the digits. Just remember that it also needs
to take a following `-' as part of the argument.
