In such case the value can be constructed as an array. And I think
leaving it at the free will means it won't happen -- we aimed at this
since 2008 more or less. Hopefully there are only of few cases that need
fixes and can be done while testing 5.0.

But for htable there should not be more than one item with the same
name, so such situation should not be for htable.dump. Can you give an
example that you encountered, how do you set two items with same name?

Cheers,
Daniel
