Sounds reasonable. However, a more consistent way to handle line numbers
would be using switches, like what we do in EXAMPLE blocks. See
org-element-example-block-parser and 12.6 Literal Examples section of
the manual.

Similarly, line numbering support can be implemented across more
export backends.
