The suggestion here is to make the interactive `goto-line' go to the
narrowed-to line instead of the absolute line. I can see the reasoning
here -- especially after `display-line-numbers-mode' was added,
displaying line numbers seems to be getting more popular, and having
`M-x goto-char' not going to the number you're seeing (if the buffer is
narrowed) sounds confusing.
But it is a breaking change -- somewhat. `goto-line' isn't supposed to
be used in code, and isn't used in-tree, but who knows what people have
done out there...
We could bind `M-g g' (and friends) to a new command that acts this new
way?
Anybody got any opinions here?
