The snippet above shows that numbering begins at 0, with the fourth line having
number 3. So either I misunderstand the question, or the snippet is confusing.
That being said, I can imagine counting lines from 1 because programming editors
also tend to count from 1 instead of 0 and this way it's consistent.
