Are talking about logical row operators as maintained by your own code 
outside the database, or having postgresql suddenly start maintaining 
logical row numbers?  I doubt postgresql will ever have built in logical 
row numbers because maintaining them in a materialized way is quite 
expensive.

On the other hand, if you just need logical row numbers for a one off 
thing, you can do this:

create temp sequence judy;
select *, nextval('judy') from mytable;
