Does jed 99.17 still have the digit_arg: internal function? Maybe only the
binding is missing. 

Try call("digit_arg") to access the internal function from slang.
You might bind an internal function to a key using setkey or definekey.

jedmodes.sf.net/mode/numbuf uses the custom_variable Numbuf_key_prefix to
determine the "jump-key". Currently it is defined as

% Keybindings: Default is to bind Alt-1 to Alt-9 to goto_numbered_buffer.
% (With ALT_CHAR = 27) By default these are bound to digit_arg, make sure you
% bind another keyset to digit_arg.
% Use the following to change this. (Set to NULL if you don't want keybindings)
custom_variable("Numbuf_key_prefix", "\e");  % Escape (Alt/Meta)

My original aim was to emulate the "true blue borland ide" 
[see G. Gonzatos ide.sl]. The docstring of numbuf says:

% Number the buffers and bind Alt-1 .. Alt-9 to go to numbered_buffer

Should I better set the default to NULL, and tell the users to set their
binding in a USAGE section, so no accidential overwriting of bindings
occures?
