    This patch allows the user to invoke goto-line by clicking on the line number
    in the modeline.

This isn't the time for new features.  Anyway, this is not a good
feature.

The user has to enter the line number with the keyboard.  Mixing mouse
clicks and keyboard input is rather inconvenient.  So I think that few
people would use this intentionally.

Please don't install it.
