How to restart numbering on PHPWord with addListItem()?

I'm creating a document that will contain multiple numbered lists on a page and have created two list definitions as this:

  ${'references_' . $testcase} = array('listType'=>PHPWord_Style_ListItem::TYPE_NUMBER_NESTED);
  ${'procedure_' . $testcase} = array('listType'=>PHPWord_Style_ListItem::TYPE_NUMBER_NESTED);

They're then being called within loops to add to the lists:

for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {
  $body->addListItem('List Item ' . $i, 0, null, ${'references_' . $testcase});
}
for ($j = 1; $j <= 10; $j++) {
  $body->addListItem('List Item ' . $j, 0, null, ${'procedure_' . $testcase});
}

However, the second list numbering starts at 11 - how can I have this set back to 1?

I was trying to solve this myself today and I found a fork of PHPWord called PHPWord2. At the moment the code for numbering restart is only in a work branch. Read more at https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPWord/issues/10. Examples are included in the work branch.
