Learning numeric prefixes is a vital step in the road to Emacs
mastery, and it's probably one of the editor's least appreciated
features. It took me more than a year to get the hang of doing
C-3 C-k instead of C-a C-space C-n C-n C-n C-w.
Still, having three different ways of invoking this marvel is
one-too-many for my taste, specially when they take up premium
keyboard space. M-9 isn't just a nice key, it's a
key I can hit while drunk in the dark and wearing boxing gloves —it
deserves an equally important command.
