This is not exactly what you need either, but there is something close
available in the register that tells you the number of each menu item.
But if your markup changes from page to page (e.g. if branches of the
menu expand or contract), a given page will not always have the same
'number':

page.77 = HMENU
page.77 {	
	1 = TMENU
	1 {
		noBlur = 1
		expAll = 1
		wrap = <ul>|</ul>
		
		NO = 1
		NO {
			wrapItemAndSub = |</li>
			stdWrap.dataWrap = <li> [page id: {field:uid}][menu item number:
{register:count_HMENU_MENUOBJ}] |
		}
	}
	
	2 < .1
	3 < .1
	4 < .1
}


The example also shows one way to get a page's uid. In general, this
is a more useful item as it can be trusted to be unique.
