Which we're unable to prevent.
I was talking about the trivial case - prevent a user from creating a
conflict using the default connection. That gets us the right thing in
at least 90% of use cases IMHO.
We are fundamentally dealing with different
namespaces with both 'name' and 'id' values - any attempt to merge them
is doomed to failure.
Yes, they are fundamentally different namespaces. But the fact that
they are fundamentally different namespaces is nothing but a hinderance
to users, and fudging an aggregation of these fundamentally different
namespaces should be both possible and beneficial to most users.
