But basically, you just create an object that holds 2 values. The current

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.
