I would like to use \ref on a counter that I define myself. That is, I want to
be able to say somewhere,
This refers to \ref{hi}.
<some text>
setcounter{myctr}{20}
\newlabel{hi}{{\arabic{myctr}}}
it would print the contents of myctr where the label was processed, i.e.
This refers to 20.
It works if the label comes before the reference, not thereafter. That is,
the information is not written to the aux file. This is probably very simple,
but I have tried many variations and didn't get it.
