Comment (by eschnett):

 Cactus has three levels of parameter checking -- strict, normal, and
 relaxed. Since this level needs to be chosen before the parameter file is
 parsed, it is a command line option. A while ago we changed the default to
 "strict" because the other options turned out to be confusing, and thus
 were stealing queue-time from users.

 If you set your parameter checking level to "normal", you can set
 parameters twice to the same value without aborting the simulation.

 I assume you will want to define a new level between "strict" and
 "normal", or change the behaviour of "normal" to disallow certain things
 that are currently allowed.
