Should declaring the same event multiple times throw an exception then 
if it's not allowed?

I don't know if it makes sense to override other metadata but I think 
with expires it could be possible to use the greater value of two 
different declarations as the engine already uses multiple sources for 
calculating the actual expires (explicit vs. implicit).

Cheers,
