One case I know was consciously make to work is (defvar :foo :foo) so that
packages using :foo could be kept backward compatible with Emacs-19
where :foo is a normal variable because keywords don't exist.
Whether we should still cater to such thing is another question.
I had forgotten about that, because Emacs 19 was so long ago.
I think it is ok to forget about this, but _if_ the change bothers
people, we could change defvar to once again allow that case and that
case only.
