I'd thought the original point of ThreadSafeCounter was to provide
a simple sequential unique values generator, without causing
writes to the Data.fs.

You could look at using a MountableStorage that doesn't support
undo to get a similar benefit. This would also work with ZEO.

Take a look in the Core Session Tracking product to see how
it is done there.

Also, you may find Shane Hathaway's ExternalMount product useful.
