Huh. It surprised me a bit that this didn't trigger the duplicate-package-name
rule, as it's a stem of extra/python-aiofiles.

There are 32 packages in AUR for which there's a plural stem of a package name
in one of the core repositories (extra/python-aiofiles, aur/python-aiofile).
There are also 3 packages in AUR which are the same as core packages, except for
a '++'

- extra/bonnie++                    : aur/bonnie
- extra/libxml++ (and core/libxml2) : aur/libxml
- extra/mysql++                     : aur/mysql

but while those 35 may not violate the duplicate rule (how far would you take
stemming rules, anyway?), I was surprised to find 3 packages in AUR which are
straight-up duplicates of packages in core or extra:

- extra/peazip           : aur/peazip
- extra/pinta            : aur/pinta
- extra/video-downloader : aur/video-downloader

Am I misunderstanding
