    I think goto-line should do it.

What is "it"?  You cut off the rest of my sentence where I said what I meant
by "changed this way": use `number-nearest-point'. I suspect that your "it"
is not my "this way", but I'm not sure what you mean.

RMS has already said that he is not interested in such nearest-point stuff
in Emacs. That's why I changed it to `number-at-point' in the code I sent,
and that's why I said that I don't propose it for `goto-line' itelf. I
mentioned it only "FYI", for the original poster, in particular.

Your suggestion to pick up the line number at bol might be acceptable to
RMS, however. I think that the main pb he had with the "nearest" stuff was
that its scope was not sufficiently constrained. That is not a pb with bol.
