Comment:

 I can't see this as something we want to add. ID's are almost impossible
 to keep consecutive with how WordPress generates posts. We specifically
 downplay using IDs within WordPress, so to add an extra one designed to be
 used like this isn't something we're likely to support.

 If you wanted to implement this for a site, it shouldn't be too difficult
 to achieve, simply hook into the post publishing routine and add it as a
 post meta item (or slug perhaps, but numeric slugs are fraught with
 danger) and setup a query based off of that.
