Ok, that's weird because --append is supposed to allow duplicates
already, that's why the MODIFY flag exists already. Otherwise it would
be a bit pointless.

Secondly, your patch changes some places where it does MODIFY now to
using CREATE, so I imagine it's going to break some stuff in normal
use.

Have a nice day,
