Hi Tom, Josh,

Frankly, I don't care about this much, though I tend to lean _against_
numbered querys, however, it occurs to me that perhaps Josh can implement
a command line switch to turn on command line numbering. He gets what he
wants, you get what you want, and the world has a tiny bit more
functionality. It seems to me foolish to change what exists today, but
_adding_ an option seems reasonable if someone wants to impelent it.

Rgds,
Richard
