Both the doc string of `set-goal-column' (`C-x C-n') and its doc in the
Emacs manual should state more clearly that the effect is only for the
current buffer.  For a user to find this out (besides experimenting),
s?he would need to click the link for the variable `goal-column'
referred to in the doc for the command.  The information is there, but
it could be more clear and direct.
