Best way to automatically number sections

Pandoc has a `--number-sections` flag that enables automatic section
numbering in various output formats. If you are using TextMate and the
[Pandoc.tmbundle], you can use the bundle editor to add that flag to
the conversion commands.

But if you are looking to automatically add numbering to the markdown
source itself, e.g., transforming

~~~
# this

## this
~~~

into

~~~
# 1. this

## 1.1. this
~~~

then I don't know of any easy way to do that.

Best,
David
