Interesting.  But... I don't want to make nano into an aspiring IDE.

The choice of ^R ^O is odd, since the user does not want to *read* or
insert anything, but instead wants to jump.  So it would be better to
bind the function directly to a key.  But as we're running out of keys,
maybe simply provide a bindable function and let the needy user do the
binding.

Your patch will be much more maintainable if you don't change any lines
that don't *need* to be changed.  Meaning: don't change any indentation.
Look at the output of 'git log -p -w' for your commit.  That is what
your patch should look like.
