I would like to know about numbering lines in the verse environment -- not
every line, but every fifth, as verse is usually numbered. ie:

	blah blah blah
	blah blah blah
	blah blah blah
	blah blah blah
	blah blah blah		5
	blah blah
	blah

I can fake it with a marginal note containing the line number, but it would
be nice to be able to make it automatic.
