On my RPi3 with Raspbian 9, 'aptitude show'
tells me that the "Uncompressed Size" for the
vim pack is 1,921 k, for emacs25 it is 12.8 M.

Are we talking about being able to tell what
line point is at, to go to a specific line,
either thru a button or a manual command, and

If so, isn't that like one of the most basic
feature any editor whatsoever should have?

Is this a new feature to Emacs?!
