I'd *really* say +1 on that, though I'd suggest keyed by a string, since
you might not have an OID at the time you want to create a sequence
(think an ID for a certain class of objects; you might need it before
creating the first one).

This is a really a critical feature for anybody considering the ZODB as
a data store in the `same-ish' application domain as an RDBMS.

Take care,
