I would have spent hours figuring this one out if it weren't for that hint.

I never realized that the automagic increment checked for a pattern. But
why should it? Why not simply increment what it finds. Or perhaps anchor
it at the back?

Anyway on to the method, Given that this is a temporary name, and since
it is using $$, why is it searching?
