    But note that `m Foo RET' will ignore the second one.
    As said, it might still be usable by middle-clicking on it, but it's
    still rather bogus overall anyway.  Which is why I wouldn't object to
    merging such entries.

The existence of such entries is in itself a sort of a problem;
it would be better not to merge them, so that the problem is visible
in the merged dir file.
