The purpose of the counter is to provide a globally unique number--across
includes and across libraries. If actually need a variable, you should use the
slot mechanism instead. It is a little more wordy, but it gives you more
control over what the value actually is.
#define BOOST_PP_VALUE 0
#include BOOST_PP_ASSIGN_SLOT(1)
BOOST_PP_SLOT(1) // 0
#define BOOST_PP_VALUE BOOST_PP_SLOT(1) + 1
#include BOOST_PP_ASSIGN_SLOT(1)
BOOST_PP_SLOT(1) // 1
// etc.
We could add a BOOST_PP_SLOT_INC macro to shorten this.
