Not for me.  Works here.  Are you sure?

FWIW, I think the mode is potentially useful.  It would be more useful
if there would be a local version, and if enabling autoarg-mode would
still allow me to enter digits with the keypad (i.e. the other way than
autoarg-kp-mode, because e.g. ...what? mhmm, I wanted to write an
example including integers but I can't enter them anymore, I can't turn
off autoarg mode.  It's just broken.  Will restart Emacs.

What I wanted to say was that large numbers are probably easier to type
on the keypad, and they are unlikely to be used as prefix arg.

Michael.
