    /**
        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.
