Comment (by rhaas):

 I have to admit that I have had quite a number of times where I copied and
 pasted a section of the parameter file (say a detector radius or something
 similar) wanting to add a new detector. More often than I like to admit I
 forgot to bump say the detector number somewhere in the copied section and
 do actually end up setting a parameter to the same value twice. However in
 this case this is an actual error since I really wanted to set two
 different parameters (say detecter_every[0] and detector_every[1]) to the
 identical values.

 So for, me the current behaviour while sometimes annoying, has been very
 helpful more often than that. A level 1 warning might be lost in the slew
 of initial output and warnings I fear.
