Matt reminded about this request in
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2021-02/msg01270.html
Now `read-number' has own history in `read-number-history' added a year ago
in bug#38282. The same commit 7c5d6a2afc6 also added `goto-line-history'
for `goto-line'.
So this request could be closed unless there is still a need to add
`goto-char-history' for `goto-char' too. I'm not sure if
`read-number-history' is sufficient already, or own history should be added
to every number-reading command like `move-to-column', etc.
