I think "set style increment" or "set style autoincrement" would be
clearer.  And because auto-increment affects point types as well as line 
types, I think the option values would have be "type" and "style", or 
maybe "system" and "user", not ls and lt.

Sub-option of the new command above.

Strictly terminal-specific ---> set term or set termoption
