[wp-hackers] How to number the paged comments in theme Was: Tutorial for custom Walker_Comment ?

Yes it does. However, I may end up using ( get_comment_pages_count() >
1 ) as it is more good-looking.  That leaves me with the other
quandary:

Do you think

<ol start="<?php echo ( get_query_var('cpage') - 1 ) *
get_query_var('comments_per_page') + 1 ?>">

is okay and wouldn't cause problems or fail later?

I am just being careful about these undocumented functions.
