I like that idea. I always found it rather confusing

This reminds me, historically in IrRegex it was an error

to use the same name multiple times, but due to popular

demand the semantics were changed so that you could,

and requesting a named submatch would return the first

defined submatch with that name.

This is also consistent with PCRE, so I expect no

objection to specifying it so in SRFI 115.
