Subject: the numeric argument, or the prefix argument
Date: Sun, 11 Dec 2011 22:40:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAHYJk3R9e=EtP3uZB-jU0fTTUEZCUSVL2+K8RV-VBft8tgo43A@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

On a few places in the manpage, reference is made to 'the prefix
argument', referring to the numeric argument. I don't see any obvious
place to mention that they're the same, so should we just change all
'prefix' to 'numeric' instead? The entry for $NUMERIC and
digit-argument both don't mention 'prefix argument' at the moment.
(Incidentally, it is referred to as 'numeric prefix argument' in the
incarg and transpose-lines help, so there is a minute chance someone
could work it out already.)
