smartrep with universal argument

[Antoine-Patel]

universal-argument inside a smartrep-define-key leads to a strange behavior. It's easier to explain with an example:

(smartrep-define-key
 global-map "M-SPC e"
  '(("r" . universal-argument)
    ("u" . keyboard-quit)
    ("j" . next-line)
    ("f" . previous-line)))

I'd like M-SPC e r j to do the same as C-u C-n, ie. go 4 lines below ((next-line 4) -- assuming default emacs key bindings). Instead when pressing j after the r, it simply goes one line below, as if r had not been pressed. The universal argument is not passed to the next repetition of the smartrep.

Also, pressing M-SPC e r j j j o for example, causes jjjjjjo to be inserted in a buffer, instead of just o , like M-SPC e j j j o does.

Is there an easy trick/workaround, like replacing universal-argument with some code, to get the behavior I want ?
