I agree they aren't used often, but they are a feature in the code that I'm
using a certain way and I've provided some documentation for that use case.

But, maybe my use case is improper and shouldn't be documented. If
that is the case then I suggest the code should be changed to detect
"multiple dhcp-options with the same tag" as an error. I'll volunteer to
try to do that, if that is the consensus.
