Whether or not it's possible, that probably isn't a very good
idea, as many functions depend on the assumption that a single
C-u sends an argument of 4 or '(4), and that C-u C-u means 16,
and so forth.

In retrospect, it might have been better if C-u was internally
represented in some other way, but that's the way it is and it's
too late to change it ... :-)
