AFAICT, `repunctuate-sentences' does operate on the region when active:

(interactive (list nil (use-region-beginning) (use-region-end)))

Please see the attached patch, which makes repunctuate-sentences respect
the current prefix argument.

Juri, do I need to update the interactive-args declaration?  I'm not
totally clear on how that works.

Thank you!

Joseph
