/**
 * Utility class for generating '{@code id}' attributes values for JSP tags. Given the
 * name of a tag (the data bound path in most cases) returns a unique ID for that name within
 * the current {@link PageContext}. Each request for an ID for a given name will append an
 * ever increasing counter to the name itself. For instance, given the name '{@code person.name}',
 * the first request will give '{@code person.name1}' and the second will give
 * '{@code person.name2}'. This supports the common use case where a set of radio or check buttons
 * are generated for the same data field, with each button being a distinct tag instance.
