 Idea by ppurka in #14403. Something like this, not necessarily digit
 suffixes:
 {{{
 sage: SR.next_variable('x') # suppose x, x0, x1 are already defined
 x2
 sage: SR.next_variable('x2')
 x3
 sage: SR.next_variable('x0y') # suppose that x0y is not yet defined.
 x0y
 }}}

 This would be better than
 {{{
 sage: SR.symbol()
 symbol161
 sage: SR.symbol()
 symbol164
 }}}
