Display number of bytes into the file that the caret is at

Subject says it all. Line and column info is great but it would be nice to have the option of displaying exactly (cr and lf included) how many bytes into the file the caret is.

Workaround till it might be implemented in a more direct way:

PreÃŸ Shift+Ctrl+Home to select from cursor position to beginning of file.
Then preÃŸ Alt+Return to see document properties. On the "Document" tab you can see how many characters are selected...

That's what I've been doing but the characters reported does not include carriage returns or line feeds so I have to mentally add them on afterwards. It's a way to get the info I want but it's slowing me down man! Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
