Failure to detect repeated names with splatted keyword args

It’s documented:

The nature of keyword arguments makes it possible to specify the same argument more than once. For example, in the call plot(x, y; options..., width=2) it is possible that the options structure also contains a value for width . In such a case the rightmost occurrence takes precedence; in this example, width is certain to have the value 2 . However, explicitly specifying the same keyword argument multiple times, for example plot(x, y, width=2, width=3) , is not allowed and results in a syntax error.
