Ok, the examples in the manual may not actually be the best here since
they just happen to have a number at the start of all lines in the
relevant examples.  So I thought this was already the case.  This seems
actually tricky to do since the algorithmic bar number visibility
(defaulting to everything being visible) is applied independently of the
line-break-based visibility (defaulting to only show line numbers at the
start of the line) and either only have the power to _remove_ line
numbers rather than to add them.

So this would likely require preparing a stencil in an unpure/pure
container that commits suicide when not at a line break or not of the
right kind.
