If I turn on display-line-numbers-mode in an *info* buffer, or have the
line number displayed in the mode line, those numbers are the narrowed
line numbers. Having M-g M-g go to the absolute line number there
would be very confusing as they donʼt match the visual information
provided (how many people even know that *info* buffers are narrowed?
They behave like a linked set of buffers).
