I wrote a package for use in screencasts, which displays the key for
some commands when you invoke them. And I wanted it to show prefix
args too.

That said, this doesn't actually affect me right now. Since I didn't
know this was a bug, I manually implemented this "prefix-arg
detection" into my code.
