Make goto-char offer the number at point as default
* lisp/subr.el (read-natnum-interactive): New function to read natural
numbers for interactive functions.
* src/editfns.c (Fgoto_char): Call read-natnum-interactive from the
interactive definition of goto-char to offer the number at point as
default. Also expand the docstring to document this new interactive
behavior.
* doc/emacs/basic.texi (Moving Point): Expand the Emacs manual to
document this new behavior.
* etc/NEWS: And announce it (bug#45199).
