Pressing C-c C-c in diff-mode should be easier. Whenever this topic
has come up, one of the arguments was "whatever you are trying to do,
Emacs should have a better way to do it than M-g". And in many cases
this might be correct. But I don't think that the best way to teach
about refined features is to not provide simpler features.
