As a matter of fact, the current definition of "enumerate-base" does not
make this possible. The issue is that the numbering of nesting lists is
preserved using the scoping feature of the WITH primitive, and there is
not way to access parent scopes (and it is correct not to be able to do
so).

I think the correct way would be to have std-list.ts initialize a
"nesting-itemnr" to an empty TUPLE, and "enumerate-base" would extend it
using the MERGE primitive. Then the "num" parameter to "newenumerate"
could iterate over "nesting-itemnr".

It looks like the answer is no. I am going to make a patch for this.
