It seems that you forgot the context of the discussion.  I was replying to 
your suggestion (see above) to "allocate the super key to third party 
packages".  Typing "C-x @ s" is not "using the super key", it's a last 
resort possibility to fake the use of a super modifier.  When you want to 
call goto-line, I'd bet you type "M-g M-g", not "C-x @ m g C-x @ m g".
