I'm pouring through the pagenumbering section now to figure out how to get
roman numerals in the frontmatter, arabic numerals in the bodymatter, and
restart the numbering in the bodymatter.

Almost there, but not as simple as I was hoping. And I'll need a custom
\totalnumberofpages in my footer for the frontmatter, because
