I don't think it ever occurred to anyone that there might be two
occurrences of :allow-other-keys among a function's arguments,
especially with conflicting values. We should probably just declare
this situation to be an error. If we don't do that, we should rule that
the leftmost occurrence of this keyword governs, since that is
consistent with what other keywords do and, I suspect, is what most
existing compilers and interpreters do.
