 This is far from optimal but at least it is guaranteed to be unique  \strong{if all files have the same offsets and scale factors}.}

 All the proposed options are suboptimal because they either do not guarantee uniqueness in all cases
 (inconsistencies in the collection of files), or they imply that IDs are based on non-integers or
-meaningless numbers. But at least it works and deals with R limitations.
