Contructing a segment but not adding it in message leaves a gap in index numbering

To reproduce: Create a segment:
$pid1 = new PID();
Do not add this to HL7 message (there can be reasons - e.g., we may decide not to add if the segment size isn't greater than 1).
Now create another segment:
$pid2 = new PID();
Add this one:
$hl7Msg->addSegment($pid2);
Expected message:
MSH|........|
PID|1|....|
Received Message:
MSH|........|
PID|2|....|
That is, it leaves a gap in place of the un-added segment.
This happens as we use a static variable to count serial index.
