Thanks, I was going to propose :ilist to the OP but did not when
I could not get it to work.

A quick test shows you need a bang to get all numbers, including
those in comments as documented.

In a new buffer (':new') with these three lines:
123
> 123
let s = '123'

using ':ilist 1 123' shows only lines 1 and 3, while
':ilist! 1 123' shows all three lines.
