I recommend that the ten decimal digits be bound in `goto-map' to a
function that calls `goto-line', bringing up a prompt with the given
digit as the default value. For example:
`M-g 4' should result in the following prompt:
Goto line: 4!
where ! represents the location of the point. I've implemented this in
my init file, but as I have had difficulty getting a legal disclaimer
from my employer in the past (they want to have every single change go
to the lawyers separately), I'm holding back on sending any
implementation.

We've recently had a long discussion about `goto-line' vs
`goto-line-relative', and some people prefer the one and some people the
other. `M-g 4' (etc) would have to choose one or the other.

Fortunately, it's already easy to go to e.g. line 42 by typing just
42gg
while holding the Meta key, i.e. M-4 M-2 M-g M-g.

Yeah, I guess there's no reason to add yet another way to enter the line
number. And this is a more general way, because it also works for
`goto-line-relative', which some people prefer.
So I'm closing this bug report.
