Userscripts.org Source Numbering

$1 News:

Add line numbering to source code.

Second feature of this script is lines selection. Click the line number for selecting the line and the browser will generate an URL.
This script can read these URL's too. For example, if you installed this script and go to this page: http://userscripts.org/scripts/review/38912#line100, the 100e line should be highlighted.
Multiple lines are possible too. As well as using an asterisk (*), which references to the last line.
Besides above features there's a shortcut (Ctrl + g), which will ask which lines you want to highlight. Here also are multiple lines and * possible too.

Compatibility issuesIt seems that this script can conflict with some other scripts. For more information, see paragraph "$7 Compatibility Issues" below.

Have fun using it, gr Jerone

$7 Compatibility Issues

It seems that this script can conflict with some other scripts. Because every script is different, I can only partially fix this compatibility. To completely fix it, you need to set this scripts execution as last. This can be done by right-clicking this script in the GreaseMonkey userscripts list and selecting "Execute last" (see image below).

$8 Notes:

I made this userscript in Notepad++.
It's tested in Firefox 4 with GreaseMonkey 0.9.1.
This script is copyrighted and I prefer if you ask if you can 'borrow' parts of this script.
Installing is at own risk and I can't be held responsible if anything goes wrong.
Want to reward me for putting time and sweat into making this free userscript; (thank you).
