Description
For example:
app_one/templatetags/foo.py
app_two/templatetags/foo.py
{% load foo %}
The above fails silently, but it should throw a great big scary error saying that there are two template tag packages with the same name.

It doesn't fail, it successfully loads the first library with a matching name. This is no more an error than having two modules of the same name on your pythonpath.
