Also I would omit the suffix at all when it is the first occurrence. It 
will cause that unique symbols will not be numbered.

That'd mean that the names (including suffixes) are not stable, because a 
particular name that has originally been unique can later be made 
non-unique when module brings in a conflicting name.

The numbering (and uniqueness) is per-object, so the same symbol name
from another module would live in a separate namespace and wouldn't
create a conflict.
