Could you please mention the meaning of a prefix argument in interactive
use again? Previously, the docstring included the now missing sentence:

   With a prefix argument, kill the buffer instead.

C-u q is a great feature in many modes (doc-view-mode, image-mode etc.),
because it does not ask for which buffer to kill (in contrast to C-x k),
so I hope it remains available and documented. Thank you in advance!
