Subject: [PATCH] Use current-prefix-arg instead of prefix-arg
Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2020 22:35:04 -0500

Forwarding arguments through to children function invocations should
be handled by current-prefix-arg. This was first uncovered when ediff
used full window width scrolling in ediff-scroll-horizontally, when
the call to scroll-left or scroll-right should have been half-window
size. Through further grepping, there was another usage in
simple.el. Note, execute-extended-command was visually inspected that
it was in interactive mode.
