+OVERRIDES
+---------
+In some special cases, you would like to create an allready defined object 
+with different parameters. In normal situations this leads to an error in cdist.
+If you whish, you can mark this second definition of an object with 
+CDIST_ALLOW_OVERRIDE=true to tell cdist, that this object override is 
+wanted and should be accepted.
