Re: read_mini steals prefix argument

The prefix-argument applies to the next keystroke.  The function bound
to such a keystroke may or may not use a prefix-argument.  If it does
not use it, then jed will use the prefix argument as a repetition
factor.  This feature can be used to, e.g., insert a character 75 times,

The prefix-argument is also global, meaning that there is only one
instance available.  This means that any setting prior to calling
read_mini would be lost if a prefix-argument were used at the prompt.
