Of course. And M-| uses C-u for a completely separate (and
actually useful!) purpose. M-! is one thing for which Stefan's
copy-next-command-output makes perfect sense. Any other example?

You can all keep ignoring the fact that it doesn't work for the

require any acknowledgement. I care more about the actual
project we're involved in.
