But when I was trying it, I was always adding or removing only one rule -
regardless if from terminal, file or redirected standard input. So the line
number should be always 1 (or 0, if numbering is from 0) - am I right?
But it was still impossible for example when a rule that was typed
directly from a terminal, to remove it from a redirected standard input or
from a file (in any case standard input and/or file contained only one
line!)
