Subject: 24.5; `forward-*' cmds: numeric ARG should always be optional
Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2017 08:49:03 -0800 (PST)

The numeric argument to most `forward-*' commands is optional,
defaulting to 1.  This should be the case in general.  These three
commands require their ARG, but they should not.  It should be
optional and default to 1.

 `forward-button'
 `forward-symbol'
 `forward-whitespace'
