I suggested it use the first number on the current line, even if it is
not at the beginning of the line.  Because it only searches one line
(in a very predictable way), the result is used only as a default, and
it happens to fit a very common usage scenario, I think this is an
acceptable and useful heuristic.  YMMV.
