Many Ediff commands take numeric prefix arguments. For instance, if you
type a number, say 3, and then @kbd{j} (@code{ediff-jump-to-difference}),
Ediff moves to the third difference region. Typing 3 and then @kbd{a}
-(@code{ediff-diff-to-diff}) copies the 3d difference region from variant A
+(@code{ediff-diff-to-diff}) copies the 3rd difference region from variant A
to variant B. Likewise, 4 followed by @kbd{ra} restores the 4th difference
region in buffer A (if it was previously written over via the command
@kbd{a}).
