+// `eii` expands to, among other things, `macro eii() {}`.
+// If we have two eiis named the same thing, we have a duplicate definition
+// for that macro. The compiler happily continues compiling on duplicate
+// definitions though, to emit as many diagnostics as possible.
+// However, in the case of eiis, this can break the assumption that every
+// eii has only one default implementation, since the default for both eiis will
+// name resolve to the same eii definiton (since the other definition was duplicate)
+// This test tests for the previously-ICE that occurred when this assumption
+// (of 1 default) was broken which was reported in #149982.
