The vim stuff above (minus mail quoting characters) could be appended
to .vimoutlinerrc, so it will be available whenever outlines are
available. Or you save it to a file and :source the_file when you need
it.

The function needs to be invoked via :range call Number(), e.g.
:%call Number() or :.,+30call Number(), it even accepts a visual range.
