The per-type counters were submitted by someone else.

My thinking was "provide a default as a counter, but not force people to
use that because, well, they might need to match some other numbering
scheme."  So basically, if you use the counter it increments, but if you
supply your own then the counter isn't touched.

I don't recall why the logic was in the GUI vs in the Create API.
