I fixed this, although not regarding the order.  the doc string is not
too long, so interspersing the description of interactive behavior
with non-interactive is not a catastrophe.

Btw, it is a pity that only the prefix arg of zero is useful in
interactive usage, which doesn't let the user select the other
behaviors regarding the optional FRAME argument.  I think this
could/should be improved by relatively straightforward changes that
use values of prefix arg other than zero.

I didn't understand what this alludes to.
