Getting the current post number / make posts increment

The one persistent numerical thing about post is ID, however it is sequential for all posts, so you will have gaps if using it.

It would be easiest to assign a number and store it in custom field on post creation. Probably take it from an option and increment it there, so that your numbering doesn’t shift if you delete a post and such.
