An example:
C-x C-b acts according to your default.
C-x 4 C-x C-b would pop up a new window and use it.
C-x 5 C-x C-b would create a new frame and use it.
C-x 4 and C-x 5 are already a prefixes (in the sense of key bindings), but
not realized as commands.
You would still be able to use prefix args, like
C-x 5 C-u 1 C-x C-b

These are future plans.
I tried to implement something like this for myself, but discarded it.
The concept is easy, but the details are not. For example, if you use
C-x 5 before a command that at first reads in a string with completion,
do you want your completion list to appear in a new frame when hitting
TAB? Probably not. Commands that display multiple new buffers are
problematic.
