Wellll... that is an abomination that shouldn't be allowed
to survive! (Okay, the fact that I've been using M-g bound
to goto-line for 20 years has something to do with my opinion,
but...)
How often do you ever use the facemenu-keymap command, compared
to the goto-line command? In my case, I regularly use
goto-line, and simply *never* use the facemenu-keymap command.
(I don't use that functionality at all, even by menu or
otherwise, as I basically never change any of the faces on the
fly.)
Hence a nice short key sequence like M-g should be assigned to
a commonly used command, and an often used command like goto-line
is a good example (which I can't imagine binding to a three key
sequence).
