Indeed, it's ok to give any option multiple times. Except when mentioned 
otherwise, the last option overrides the previous ones. AFAICS, this is 
a GNU standard.

But you are right, that this could be mentioned explicitly.
I'd consider adding a paragraph to the OPTIONS/"Option Syntax" sections 
in the man/info page.

Would you like to come up with a suggestion ?
