[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I often find myself doing `C-u M-x pwd RET', hoping that the current
default directory will be inserted at point, but it doesn't. `pwd'
doesn't currently act on a prefix argument, so why not let it do this?

This matches how `shell-command', and newly also `quick-calc', treat
prefix arguments.
