<upd_detl>Standard application of ごく, perhaps, but still a little tricky to translate just from the ごく and 当たり前 entries. Also very 
common.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I would think ごく普通 would be a good 
candidate for inclusion as well (better, 
even). 
I think it might be a little tricky to 
translate this because 1) ごく is almost 
always hiragana so any novice user will 
have to guess which of our three ごく 
entries apply, 2) all our ごく entry 
currently says is "very, quite" while the 
more natural translations of ごく in this 
particular phrase are the ones above 
above. 3) Additionally, ごく is a bit of a 
strange beast for an adverb and is only 
regularly used with a very small set of 
words, chiefly as ごく普通(in eij, a gg5 
example in the ごく entry), ごくわずか 
(jitsuyo, eij, jmdict), ごく最近 (eij, 
jmdict), ごく稀 (eij, jmdict, gg5 example 
in the ごく entry), ごく一部 (jitsuyo, eij, 
jmdict), ごくために (jmdict) and ごく当たり前 
(eij). (We also have ごく小さい here (since 
2015) which incidentally is the 3rd most 
common ごく+adj-i according to NINJAL but 
only 1/6th as common as ごく当たり前 in the 
ngrams)</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I missed ごく自然 (eij), ごく一般的 (eij) ごく少数 (eij) and probably one or two or perhaps a few others, but I still think it's quite a 
limited bunch and it wouldn't hurt us to include a couple of more of these.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Most importantly though: we have 70 adverbs with the gloss "very" in Jmdict but the only "very+当たり前" combos that are actually common and 
sound completely natural are "ごく当たり前" and "至極(しごく)当たり前". One of the "is it worth including tests" mentioned in policy "is it 
not what someone reasonably proficient in Japanese would come up with when trying to express the English meaning in Japanese?"</upd_detl>
