the idea was to underline that there really is some danger associated with 
editing these objects, and thus to require a somewhat more conscious effort 
from the user.

I suppose we could offer an option to run
  names (x) <- make.unique (names (x))
and re-open the object after that. I think it will be very rare for users to 
run into this, though.

If you care, please remind me shortly after the release, or add an item to the  
feature request tracker.

Regards
Thomas
