goto-line pushes mark.  This is not documented and makes goto-line
essentially useless as a lisp function.

Thanks.  Indeed, it should usually not be called from Lisp.
I've added it to byte-compile-interactive-only-functions so the
byte-compiler will warn you.
I've also changed the docstring.

    goto-line pushes mark.  This is not documented and makes goto-line
    essentially useless as a lisp function.

In lisp you may as well do

   (goto-char (point-min))
   (forward-line N)
