This was four years ago, and it still hasn't been fixed.  `C-u C-x C-e'
is still:

(this-command-keys)
=> "^X^E"

There was disagreement between Stefan (who thinks that the current
behaviour is correct, and the doc should be fixed), and Eli (who was
concerned that this would be a breaking change).

Since it doesn't seem like there's been any big uproar over this change
over the years, I think that perhaps updating the documentation to
reflect the current behaviour is the way to go now.

Any further opinions?
