Hi Arnd

Thanks for this. I found one bug in my code while testing due to
duplicate probe initialisation. I was surprised at the time the
compiler did not warn me. I didn't think to try W=1. Is there any
legitimate need to allow multiple initialisation of a field? Can this
warning be made always on instead of only W=1?
