That might be O.K.  `C-x F' is a possibility if we move the facemenu
stuff (which is fairly new) to another prefix.  Since facemenu is M-g
in Emacs (not worth trashing our `goto-line' for), one possibility
might be moving it to `C-M-g'.

Urgh.

I'm feeling more like giving find-function the `C-x F' binding and
moving the more-obscure facemenu map to `C-M-g'.
