Two @FUNCTIONs/aliases with the same name

Below, shouldn't the function be redefined (as it is in v19, v18, v17, ...)? The same holds for aliases.
Code:
v:\> function foo bar

v:\> function foo jar

v:\> function f*
foo=bar
foo=jar
 
Here, in 20.00.25, this seems to "function" just fine:

Code:
[TEST]ver

TCC  20.00.25 x64   Windows 7 [Version 6.1.7601]

[TEST]function
TCC: No functions defined

[TEST]function test foo
[TEST]function test bar
[TEST]function
test=bar

[TEST]alias
TCC: No aliases defined

[TEST]alias test foo
[TEST]alias test bar
[TEST]alias
test=bar
 
TCC 20.11.38 Windows 7 [Version 6.1.7601]

v:\> alias foo bar

v:\> alias foo bar

v:\> alias foo bar

v:\> alias fo*
foo=bar
foo=bar
foo=bar
 
TCC 20.11.38 Windows 7 [Version 6.1.7601]

v:\> alias foo bar

v:\> alias foo bar

v:\> alias foo bar

v:\> alias fo*
foo=bar
foo=bar
foo=bar

I've been working with a few aliases lately and noticed that I now have to *unalias the existing aliases before redefining a newer version at the command line. Made me wonder what was happening for awhile.

Not the expected behavior since I didn't observe this issue in V19. Didn't check any further back.

I read several aliases from a file and multiple definitions for the same alias does not produce multiple definitions, LILO.
Conclusion: The multiple alias with same name behavior only seems to manifest when working with aliases at the V20 command line.
