+Subject: [PATCH] bindings: allow toggling line numbers (when enabled) also in
+ tiny version
+
+As a special case, and because it doesn't need any feedback on the
+status bar nor other calls, add a special function and key binding
+to allow the user to flip the LINE_NUMBERS flag also in a tiny nano.
+
+This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61441.
