[Seaside] How generate ID

[John M McIntosh]

Assuming you want a unique value, and you don't care if it's in order  
then you can just do

UUID new
-> e0090895-4a12-4ef6-82e0-9acefc76ff9c  -> asString36  ->   
'9alvh9w807elbql3xdq6l05pc'

that will be unique.

buf if you must start at 1 and go to infinity then you need to bother  
with
Semaphore forMutualExclusion
and do things like remember what the last number was...
more code and options to get it wrong.
