There will be separate, user definable channel lists that only contain
the unique channel id and an optional, user definable channel name (by
default it will use the name from channels.conf).

Within these lists the sequence of entries defines the numbering (which
will be totally independent from channels.conf).

Sorry, I don't think it is useful to have a separate "channel number".
If you want to have gaps in your numbering, you can use the ":@nnn"
mechanism.
