   with the error message `bash_execute_unix_command: cannot find
   keymap for command'.  It fails too when the arguments are specified
   through `vi-arg-digit' in the vi-command map.

Thanks for the report. Wow, do people use M-1 M-2 to specify multiple-
digit arguments?

Anyway, I don't see how this code can work if the command following the
digit argument is something like M-a that traverses into a new keymap.
It should return M-a ("\ea"), but it looks like it will just return "a".
