Having said that, the current behaviour *is* internally consistent with
the rest of ssh option parsing. For example, if you specify the login
name multiple times, it's not rejected: first wins.
% ssh -F foo.conf -l bar -l baz -G qux at anywhere | egrep -i '^user '
user bar
% ssh -F foo.conf qux at anywhere -l bar -l baz -G | egrep -i '^user '
user qux
