The problem is that when we prepare nginx configurations for others,
we may have no idea how about how a particular set of modules are
built on the user side.

Not really similar because the nginx configuration writer definitely
knows if he uses duplicate directives in his own nginx.conf but he can
hardly know how the nginx binary on the user side is built since
nginx.conf has no such information nor has a way to detect it in
nginx.conf itself.
