Why does evil-insert-digraph take a COUNT argument?

Hmm, OK, I realize that my "bug report" was misled.  Sorry for reporting.

Background: I was running Windows with the US International keyboard
at the time when I encountered the "bug" that I wasn't able to enter
"C-k ^ i" in order to insert î, whereas "C-k 1 ^ i" did the job. But
that was due to ^ being a dead key, which is composed to î together
with the "i", so the input that Evil actually got was "C-k 1 î", which
it didn't understand, and therefore probably dropped the "1".

Cheers,

Christoph
