The fact that they're not on every line and increment by 10 is what made

I honestly can't remember; I think it was
the Aberystwyth sysadmin (Rob
Ash) who write a B prettifier (the cited BTIDY) but I can't remember
whether B as a language used/ignored line numbers, or if this was just a
prettyprint thing.
Looks like something added in printing and not in the source.
Mercifully, B doesn't use line numbers.
