Comment:

 Patch: If the menu position is already in use, make the position it
 registers to a substring of the integer base conversion of the md5 of (the
 menu slug and menu title of the admin page being registered concatenated),
 multiplied by 0.00001 to always get a number < 1, and then added to the
 original menu position. This returns a nearly guaranteed unique number,
 that is repeatable to generate, and easy to do so
