Retrieve the ListItem index in Google Doc

Question

In Google Apps Script (Google Document), when a ListItem is set to DocumentApp.GlyphType.NUMBER, how can I retrieve the ListItem number?

Note: The ListItem objects may not be consecutives, and they may not have the same parent.

Context:

Google Doc has the ability to create numbered lists starting at any index:

• Type "3."
• Press space

--> a new list starting with 3 will be created.

I need to retrieve that number in code.
