I believe the answer is: No. "Line number" is an ambiguous concept. Does it mean physical line on a display of a given width? a line of code demarcated by e.g. <CR> ; a step in the execution of script (that might display over several physical lines?)
However, various IDE's have and display "line numbers," so you might try researching whichever one that you use.
