Excellent!  I should point out that this is an entirely different 
definition of "number" than Le_Forgeron/Orchid have been using.  They 
were treating numbers as reasoning about quantities, whereas which I 
wrote treats numbers as reasoning about sequences/orders.  Both are 
equally valid, but they give different answers to your question.
