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

Yes, that was the original intent.  But having one that's safe
over multiple ZEO clients is a Very Good Thing (tm).  :-)

| 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.

Thanks, much appreciated.
