<pre>Well, if you have one line that sets the access mode to 0755 for a file, and
another one which sets it to 0777, what do you do? It's not clear what actually
should happen in that case, hence we generally report errors about conflicting
lines.
That said, we allow multiple completely identical lines already, and we do
allow to combine multiple lines that set xattrs, acls, with other lines.
Maybe we could allow multiple w lines too, as long as everything they declare
match, with the exception of the final argument.</pre>
