Hi Sam,

It may look redundant, but we do need to check each default we encounter
in the
```
for (prop = sym->prop; prop; prop = prop->next) {
```
loop against the previous defaults to know if we've encountered a
duplicate default condition.

I guess the other approach would be to copy each default as we encounter
them into a hashtable and check against that, instead? Let me know if
you have another, preferred approach.
