I've updated the documentation of goto-line in the lisp manual. Any
objections?
Lute.

I think we need a comma here.

Do we need such a detailed description of the interactive invocation
in the ELisp manual? I think these details belong in the Emacs
manual, not here.

Usually doc strings avoid duplicate words for the argument name,
so a better doc string would be:
"Go to LINE, counting from line 1 at beginning of buffer.

Thanks for the feedback. I've incorporated your (and Juri's) comments
