Auto incremented integer as a template parameter

[pastbin@gmail.com]

Dear members,

I would like to know if it exists a technique that would make the
following code possible:

//----
template<int ID>
struct ident
{
//...
};

void create_ident()
{
// the function body would contain that kind of expression:

/*...*/new ident<AUTO_INCR EMENT_COUNTER>( );

// where AUTO_INCREMENT_ COUNTER is controlled/generated
// by the compiler
}

int main()
{
create_ident(); // would create ident<0>()
create_ident(); // ident<1>()
//..
}
//----

I can't think of a solution for this problem. Of course I could make
function create_ident() templated and simply call create_ident<N> ()
but this is not what i want.
What do you think of such a behavior ?

Thank you,

mark
