A function or process for creating unique keys across files is needed. I am inclined to do this for just a user-defined set of files rather than across all files within journals because there are so many files. I think it would be important to sort the articles present chronologically by bibdate so if/when the grouped file is updated the old keys would not change, i.e., if "happy:2006:ABCa" and "happy:2006:ABCb" are already in the file, then a new addition would become "happy:2006:ABCc". This would not alleviate pains if a new journal was added to a grouped file. We could export information about all the names that changed though.
