	/**
		Provides a numeric id that is unique within all Resource IDs
		used in the string table.

		This method takes into account all Resource IDs starting with
		a decimal number and only evaluates the ID until the first non
		digit character is reached. This allows to extend unique IDs
		with individual identifiers without breaking the mechanism of
		this method.

		Examples:
		ID "42" -> numeric id 42
		ID "0foo" -> numeric id 0
		ID "111.MyId.Something.Else" -> numeric id 111
		ID "No Digits" -> not considered for numeric id

		The id returned will be 0 for an empty string table and it will
		be reset to 0 if all locales are removed. In all other cases
		this method returns the maximum numeric id used so far at the
		beginning of a Resource ID incremented by 1. When calling this
		method more than once always the same number will be returned
		until this number is really used at the beginning of a new
		Resource ID passed to <member>setString</member> or
		<member>setStringForLocale</member>.

		As the numeric id is guaranteed to be unique for the complete
		string table all locales are taken into account. So using this
		methods will force the implementation to load all locale data
		that may not have been loaded so far.

		@throws
		<type scope="com::sun::star::lang">NoSupportException</type>
		if the next available id exceeds the range of type long.
		So it's not recommended to use own Resource IDs starting
		with a decimal number near to the maximum long value if
		this methods should be used.
