Speaking as someone who occasionally causes overlaps and such
deliberately: I don't care, as long as, wherever it is, it's easy to
disable the check, or at least downgrade the error to a warning.

To put it another way, I think this is an good time to apply the
principle "Unix does not prevent you from doing stupid things, because
that would also prevent you from doing clever things".
