Hah, okay, but that was the conservative approach!  The radical one
would be resolving this FIXME:

    static void
    fix_command (Lisp_Object input, Lisp_Object values)
    {
      /* FIXME: Instead of this ugly hack, we should provide a way for an
         interactive spec to return an expression/function that will re-build the
         args without user intervention.  */

> P.S. Should this change be reflected in the ELisp manual somehow?

I don't see where.
