[issue28776] Duplicate method names should be an error

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor added the comment:

Redefine a method is a common practice indirectly using decorators:

  @staticmethod
  def method(): pass

is like:

  def method(): pass
  method = staticmethod(method)

So you can clarify what do you mean by "redefining"?

Some linters already can such common mistake (very common mistake in unit tests when using copy & paste).
