Warning for conflicting addons

There are presently many addons and I have installed several of them. The problem is that depending on the way the addons are designed, different addons may replace the same file that leads to instability an/or incorrect behavior.

It would be interesting to have a warning at the start of a game if this situation happens. Of course, not all the potentially problematic situations can be catched. But some conflicts are easy to catch and it would nice to have a warning saying something like "warning: addons a et B both redefine /foo/bar.lua".

Even that could be misleading.
Two of my addons overload the same function. But I've got it setup to work fine anyway.

This would actually be a great idea. Maybe not as a pop up box, but DEFINITELY in the game log! If it doesn't already do something similar to this, then that is an oversight.
