Sounds like you'd like {node(), Integer} or possibly {make_ref(), 
Integer}. If you have a value that is 'unique' for a node (as long as 
it's alove), then including something that uniquely identifies that node 
along with that node-unique value tends to give acceptable results.

Things are trickier if you want this to keep working over multiple node 
restarts.
