While the FLOATFIG style option cannot avoid such collisions,
it will recognize them.
For diagnostic purposes we have therefore defined
the switch \iffigprocessing
and another count register called
\ffigcount
.
This count register is used to attach
a sequence number to each Floating Figure,
so they can be identified uniquely within collision warning messages.
These sequence numbers are not to be confused
with the figure count maintained by standard LATEX.
