I'd vote for [count]^ going to the [count]th character in the

While useful, "[count]th character" doesn't seem to fit well with
"1st non-blank character" to me.
It's just a default position.
It's clear that "non-blank" does not necessarily have a meaning with
count.
Maybe "[count]th non-blank
character" would make more sense but I'm not sure how useful that
would be.
..actually on further thought, "[count]th non-blank" could be useful
for editing text in comments where ^ by itself is less useful.
Consider:
// this is
// a multiline comment
// which has been indented
One could then use 3^ to jump to the beginning of the comment text.
Of course right now one can simply ^W to accomplish the same thing.
But although the same number of keystrokes, it's 2 commands instead
of just one. This could make a difference in operator-pending mode,
for example.
Going to the first non-blank after a comment leader deserves yet
another motion, right?
(and with count, it would go to another line)
