(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)
It looks like this would be pretty easy to implement, but it would be a
behavioural change -- and the goal column is explicitly documented to
work on C-n/C-p commands, and not the other commands.
On the other hand, I think anybody's who has done a `C-x C-n' would want
<prior> and <next> to also respect the goal column, really. So I think
I'd be in favour of just changing the behaviour here.
Does anybody else have an opinion?
