> The mode "Next not used" should be called "Auto increment".

the exact behavior in vector/v.digit/var.c:

   cat = cat_max_get ( var_geti(VAR_FIELD) ) + 1;
   var_seti ( VAR_CAT, cat );

So if you manually digitize cat "10" then the next feature as cat "1", then
switch to "Next not used" mode the next feature will be "11" not "2".
This way 9 features later you don't inadvertently make something else "10" as 
well.

So the action is truely "Next not used" and not "Auto increment".
