    # Renumbers RG numbers in a cram compression header.

    # string holding the ID: tag.  This is smaller in space, but means
    # "samtools cat" to join files together that contain single but
    # different RG lines needs a way of renumbering them.
    #
    # The file descriptor is expected to be immediately after the
    # cram_container structure (ie before the cram compression header).
    # Due to the nature of the CRAM format, this needs to read and write
    # the blocks itself.  Note that there may be multiple slices within
    # the container, meaning multiple compression headers to manipulate.
    # Changing RG may change the size of the compression header and
    # therefore the length field in the container.  Hence we rewrite all
    # blocks just incase and also emit the adjusted container.
    #
    # The current implementation can only cope with renumbering a single
    # RG (and only then if it is using HUFFMAN or BETA codecs).  In
    # theory it *may* be possible to renumber multiple RGs if they use
    # HUFFMAN to the CORE block or use an external block unshared by any
    # other data series.  So we have an API that can be upgraded to
    # support this, but do not implement it for now.  An example
    # implementation of RG as an EXTERNAL block would be to find that
    # block and rewrite it, returning the number of blocks consumed.
