Just a thought -- should we perhaps establish a convention for this that
we can say commands adhere to?  That is, `C-u NUM' means "the same as
'p'" while `C-u -' and no prefix means "some large (negative and
positive; depending on the command) amount"?  I'm not sure how many of
these commands we have...
