Years ago I used a version of Emacs which had a feature called
"auto-argument-mode".  While in this mode, you didn't have to type
Control-U or ESC before entering a numeric argument.  It was somewhat
intelligent in that the typed number echoed in the minibuffer and was
inserted into the current buffer only after a non-command character
was entered.  I believe that backspace and rubout also didn't have
their normal bindings during input of the argument.

Does anyone have a defun for GNU Emacs which provides this function?
