/**
* Utility class for generating '<code>id</code>' 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</code>',
* the first request will give '<code>person.name1</code>' and the second will give
* '<code>person.name2</code>'. 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.
