Something's odd here.  xref-find-definition does NOT prompt by default.
E.g. if you invoke M-x xref-find-definition in an elisp buffer with the
text "cons" around point then it should take you immediately to alloc.c
without any prompting.  xref-find-definition should prompt only if
either xref-identifier-at-point returns nil or if it's invoked with
prefix argument.

So do I.
