IIUC the current behavior has the prefix argument simply ignore
'quit-window-kill-buffer'.  With your patch it inverts whatever that
option prescribed till now.  Right?  If so, this would constitute an
incompatible change and we probably should convey the behavior you want
via a new value for 'quit-window-kill-buffer' itself.  In either case,
the doc-string of 'quit-window-kill-buffer' would have to be amended
accordingly and the new behavior be called out in NEWS.

Thanks, martin
