It will be very useful if user can open file at specific line, and also column position. Column position can be simple added after end colon.

Example - open file reggs.c at line 640 at column 20:
mcedit regs.c:640:20

Open at line is implemented for years.

Replying to andrew_b:

Yes, and I use it often. But cursor is at start of line, not at specific column position.
It will be also useful in automatic scripts (open file at exact position of error - including column, produced by gcc,...)
