how would you search for the next value? I.e search all UID/GID and show you
the results, I could then sort them and work out which number should be
next?

FWIW the original idea was different: For this to work reliably with
multiple instances generating IDs from the same ID pool entry you have to
explicitly delete the old value and add the new one. If the ID was already
incremented by another process the old value was already replaced and the
modify request fails.
