I *really* do not want this to be flagged as an error -- it
can significantly complicate code generation for people using PCT
with relatively little benefit.

I commented on this in TT #767 as well -- I'm fine with throwing an
exception if an existing symbol is redeclared with a different type,
but redeclaring a symbol with the same type should be allowed.

Or, at the very least, provide an option or directive to say
"it's okay if this symbol is being redeclared".
