Right. I'm not sure how exactly this ends up looking like in kml, but I
suspect something like:
...
<getFieldSubscript>
  <argument name="var"><variable>a</variable></argument>
  <argument name="subscript"><string>_AUTO_INC</string></argument>
</getFieldSubscript>

This is the standard translation.

I suggest:

<getFieldSubscript>
  <argument name="var"><variable>a</variable></argument>
  <argument name="subscript"><autoIndex/></argument>
</getFieldSubscript>

Where <autoIndex/> is a karajan function that returns the thread index.

Let me know if you need help implementing <autoIndex/>, but you should
be able to figure it out if you take a look at libexec/vdl-lib.xml
