That looks good.  You should mention this in the NEWS file.

It would probably be better to make that a function rather than
a predicate.  Or alternatively, if you want consistency with the

It would also be nice to modify term__var_supply,
graph__arc_supply, and graph__node_supply to use the counter type.
