It's programming heresy, but the most reliable way to get unique
numbers is to use *random* numbers. With even a reasonably
pseudorandom sequence and a physically based seed, your odd of ever
getting duplicate values (in a 64-bit value) are considerably lower
than the odds of your mis-coding a more deterministic (but
complicated) algorithm.
