# Uniquify
#
# Return a version of the given 'base' string that is unique
# by appending a counter to it. Uniqueness is determined by
# repeated calls to the passed block.
#
# You can pass an initial value for the counter, if not given
# counting starts from 1.
#
# If `base` is a function/proc, we expect that calling it with a
# candidate counter returns a string to test/return.
