Everyone points out that the argument should be the number of words to
operate on. Well, that's logical and philosophically consistent with
the rest of the editor, but I suspect it isn't very useful. I liked
my suggestion of having arguments modify the definition of a "word",
e.g., as if Atom Word Mode were on. However, the chances of anyone
but me ever using that may be slim -- after all, a user will bother to
learn only so many special-case hacks. (Do @i<you> ever use c-U c-U
c-Space?) So perhaps consistency should take precedence.
Another suggestion: if there's a region, the command should operate on
the whole region, and leave it turned on. I, for one, much prefer
marking things with the mouse to counting words.
