Message:
The SMIv1 definition of  "counter" does not have that restriction. Since
snmpset supports SNMPv1, and since SNMPv1 uses SMIv1, I think it makes
sense to fully support to the SMIv1types.

Message:
Per section 7.1.6 of RFC 2578 (SMIv2), counters are read-only. :

7.1.6.  Counter32
   [...]
   The value of the MAX-ACCESS clause for objects with a SYNTAX clause
   value of Counter32 is either "read-only" or "accessible-for-notify".
