Actually, this currently isn't a strict restriction - just one that's
enforced by the file-system based repositories.  I can certainly
envision repositories (like, in fact, the DictionaryRepository used in
MC's tests) that key on the UUID and are perfectly happy to have duplicate
names.  If we ever build, say, a PostgresRepository, it'll probably work
that way too.
