Comment (by folletto):

 > I think we should just re-use the core textarea control and skip trying
 to add line numbers. A line number gutter reduces the overall width in
 precious horizontal real estate. We can let an eventual CodeMirror or some
 other real editor library provide that UI instead.

 I agree would be better to let that be handled directly in CodeMirror (or
 else), but if the feature is already in for a standard textarea, I think
 it's still beneficial. As noted above (it's a bit hidden, sorry) it helps
 keeping sense of longer CSS fixes. That said, I agree we should keep in
 mind to swap it with a proper CodeMirror (or else) one once we merge
 syntax highlighting in. :)
