Increments the value stored under the given key with the given increment
 (defaults to 1 (integer)).

 Warning : Tokyo Cabinet/Tyrant doesn't store counter values as regular
 strings (db['key'] won't yield something that replies properly to #to_i)

 Use #counter_value(k) to get the current value set for the counter.
