interactive codes "p" and "P" - bug or mistake

[Andreas Röhler]

Hi,

given that function:

(defun foo-bar (foo &optional bar)
  ""
  (interactive "p\nP*")
  (message "foo %s bar %s" foo bar))


as with M- NUMBER M-x foo-bar RET

or C-u M-x foo-bar RET

both interactive codes "p" and "P" send the same/similar:

M- 3 M-x foo-bar RET
--> foo 3 bar 3

C-u M-x foo-bar RET
--> foo 4 bar (4)

Think that's not OK.

My mistake?

Thanks,

Andreas
