Okay, I'm curious. What different styles apart from numbering
could there possibly be? (I can't think of any, except of
course for variants of this, such as numbering only every

Indeed, trapping output instead of input would have the added
advantage that overlong lines could be detected even if the
text was processed in fill mode.

I wonder if the OP's problem could also be tackled using the `.n' number
register?
The ‘\n[.n]’ register contain

A-ha! Of course. Silly me. :-) Together with Carten's comment on
indent, I end up with this.
.de settrap
. it 1 gotline
. di prevline
I love this list. Thank you, everyone!
> \Z'\l'4i''four inch
If you need a text line of a specified width, you can switch
the rule and the label around:
.de LR
\Z'\\$1 inch'\D'l \\$1i 0'
..
Using this
.LR 1
.LR 2
.LR 3
.LR 4
.LR 5
.LR 6
will then indeed trigger the length warning for the above
lines 5 & 6.
The behavior described may appear puzzling, but in

the \Z'...' does mean "zero width" (really!), so the
total width of this line is only the width of the
text "four inch" (which is less than 4 in.).

I had a play with this, and renamed some things to understand what was
going on.
