How do you search for numbers in a file?

The usual way: `123' matches both the string `123' and the line 123.
The only time when it's inconvenient is when you're looking for line 123 and
the buffer contains heaps of matches for the string `123'.

Hmmm, how about patching regex.c instead to match a new regular expression:


        \#N     would match the empty string anywhere on line N
