Is it really more boilerplate code? The line count is the exact same. I'm unconvinced that the added confusion (other people may not expect the behavior you propose) is worth...

Consider this case: ``` a1 = Signal(name="a") a2 = Signal(name="a") ```

I think this is problematic to implement. Slang relies on [`findDiagFromOptionName`](https://github.com/MikePopoloski/slang/blob/master/source/diagnostics/DiagnosticEngine.cpp#L25-L30) in the command line option handler, but that in turn relies on a compile time generated table of known...
