I know one can change the REPL prompt to show numbers instead of julia\>. I believe there is also a way to GOTO a number. How does one do that?

Shameless plug: [`StartupCustomizer.jl`](https://github.com/abraemer/StartupCustomizer.jl) can enable that for you in just a few lines:

```julia
julia> Pkg.add("StartupCustomizer")
julia> import StartupCustomizer
julia> StartupCustomizer.add(StartupCustomizer.NumberedPrompt())

```
