No, because it doesn't tell me when the numbers come from. I assumed
ther corresponded to the interactive UI, where it says I'm looking at
patch 5 of 20. The numbers it refers to are in fact hidden unless you
use "--number".
If the numbers *did* correspond to the interactive UI, that might save
some effort, but perhaps there's a good reason why they don't.
