Subject: bug#20451: 25.0.50; [PATCH] Add prefix argument to `pwd'
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2015 21:50:36 +0200

[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.
