Add SQL like auto-incrementing fields to your Mongoid documents. This gem is inspired by ihswebdesign.com/blog/autoincrement-in-mongodb-with-ruby/ and the mongomapper_id2 gem.

Add to Gemfile:
gem 'mongoid_auto_increment'
Just add auto_increment :field to your Mongoid model where :field is the name of the auto-incremented field you want to create. Example:
class Book include Mongoid::Document field :title field :author auto_increment :sequence end
auto_increment :sequence will create a field of type Integer named sequence for Book. Whenever an instance of the model is created (intially saved to mongoDB), the auto_increment field will automatically be set to the next number in the sequence.
You can add more than one auto-incremented field per model.
auto_increment :sequence, collection: :some_collection
mongoid_auto_inc keeps track of the current number in the sequence by creating a separate document mongoDB to query and update. By default auto_increment will save this document to a mongoDB collection called sequences. If you wish to save to a different collection use the :collection option to specify its name.
auto_increment :sequence, step: 5
If desired, you can override the :step, or increment amount (default is 1).
auto_increment :sequence, seed: 3333
Use the :seed option to set the initial value of the auto-incremented field. The first number assigned from the sequence will be the next number after the seed value (including the step - so for seed: 1000, step: 5, first value will be 1005).
auto_increment :sequence, scope: :some_field_or_relation auto_increment :sequence, scope: [ :some_field_or_relation, :another_field_or_relation ]
Use the :scope option to scope an auto-incremented field to a query. Similar to Mongoid, the scope may contain one or many fields or relations. Each unique scope will result in it’s own stream of incremented values.

Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
