This sounds like a good idea:
- Create a 'goto-char-command' command in ELisp.
- Move the interactive spec that is in 'goto-char' to this new command
and make it push the mark smartly (e.g. be careful when a region is
active). Then call 'goto-char'.
- Rebind 'M-g c' to 'goto-char-command'.
- Announce the new command.
What do you think? Could it break something? Thanks.
