I would say that the current status is that it "is an error". We might
want to specify that redundant declarations are harmless, the
conflicting case is (signals?) an error, and if the declared types are
hierarchically related, the more restrictive governs. But right now, I
don't think the user has the right to count on any particular behavior
in these cases.
