 Replying to [comment:23 naokikambe]:
 > I think we may use ''increase'' method instead of thinking of integer
 overflow. For example, in multi-process module, which isn't exactly auth
 module, each process knows its own total count but it cannot know total
 count of ALL processes.

 Right.

 > In this case, I think, to calculate the total count of ALL processes,
 the stats module must collect the counts from such processes and summarize
 it.

 Right.

 I don't get this part.  How exactly does the ''increase'' method help this
 scneario?  Could you be more specific, maybe with an example case?
