This sounds like a somewhat useful feature. I have attached a patch that adds this feature. With it, the following bindings work:

bind , number -1
bind . number +1

(file #16095)

Allow "number" to take arguments like "+1" or "-2" to change the window number relative to the current number. As an exmaple, if window 4 is the currently selected window, then issuing the command 'number -1' would be equivelant to issuing the command 'number 3'.

The reason I want this functionality is to set up key bindings to effectively move a window. For example, if I have windows numbered 0-4 already open, and want to open a new one and position it after #2, I would have to open a new window (#5) and manually issue the number command with 4 and then 3 (don't want to loose my current ordering). I would like to be able to just hit something like Ctrl+< until it is where I want it.
