JF,
We always have good intentions, and in a sense fixing this would be
trivial. But the downstream implications are a little overwhelming. So
much code assumes that an object will occur at most once in the list.
It does seem to be extremely rare. The last time someone wanted this,
they needed to define like a "signature", i.e., a list of types. But in
the end they ended up with a parameter list and the problem went way.
It would take many weeks of careful investigation to track down the
implications of the change, so it won't happen this release for sure.
