[Feature Request] Outline Numbering for headings

This isn’t an issue, but a feature request. The extension is fantastic, but the only thing missing for me is automatic numbering of headings, that can be updated on Save.

Use Case 1 - new doc with no numbers

the following document:

# Introduction
## Background

will have numbers prefixed on save or activation

# 1 Introduction
## 1.1 Background

Use Case 2 - update document with existing numbers

the following document will become:

# 1 Introduction
## 1.1 Background
## Open Issues
## 1.2 Team Composition

will have new numbers added and old numbers changed on save or activation

# 1 Introduction
## 1.1 Background
## 1.2 Open Issues
## 1.3 Team Composition

The numbers here should match those in the TOC

This is indeed a very nice feature. However, it will number from 1.x and never reach 2.x, if one wants to follow markdown “rules” to only have a single top-level header. Perhaps, if the top-level header is omitted from toc, then the second level headers could be 1.x, 2.x, etc.
