I, personally, don't think we should force users to avoid dups (as I don't yet? see any issues w/ duplicated helpers), but if you think we need to enforce that *and* make it users' responsibilities then you should continue to throw an exception. in both cases, javadoc should be updated to reflect that duplicates are ignored or that an exception is raised in case a duplicate was encountered.

>From a correctness point of view, it should not make a difference if a helper class is added twice. We will just apply all the annotations twice (enqueue a method for compilation, set a method to be not inlined etc.). But I think it's unnecessary work for the framework to walk through all methods and process them twice. So, I tend towards just ignoring dups without an exception and mention that in the Javadocs.
