[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

Here's an interesting idea I picked up from Reddit: make goto-line
enable display-line-numbers-mode temporarily when prompting.  Please see
the attached patch.

Comments or thoughts welcome, as always.

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas

PS. I added a new defcustom to enable this behaviour, by default set to
    nil.  But if it seems useful, it would be nifty if we could enable
    it by default.  (I have no idea if display-line-numbers-mode is
    stable enough in all scenarios, however.)

There were no massive enthusiasm for this idea, and I sort of lost
interest.  It would need some more work, and there are obviously many
other areas where time could be usefully spent.  So I'm closing this bug
for now.

Thanks to Robert and Eli who contributed their thoughts.  Hopefully we
will be able to dig up this thread if we ever return to this idea in the
future.

PS. If anyone wants to pick up the ball, they should feel free to do so.
