Console Scratch File Name Enumeration

Would it be possible to continue console scratch file name enumeration from the last scratch file present? I cleaned up a bunch of unused scratch files, #'s 1-8, leaving #'s 9-11. When I created a new scratch file, it was given the suffix _1. I was expecting and prefer it to be _12...picking up from the last one _11. 

The ultimate would be if it indexed, never to repeat, regardless of what is present. For example, if I had delete all of them, 1-11, it would still pickup with 12. But that is a databasing issue, and would not expect anyone to agree with that.

I realize it is a pretty flimsy request. But it would help in organizing temporary efforts.

Anyone have comments or observations on the issue?
