you can have more than one user with a uid!

True, that's a POV...
But IMO having more than one user with the same uid is an issue of non-uniqueness
in another database: passwd(5) or maybe yp or something like that.
Your key in _this_ database is uid and that is unique;
there is and can be only one record for each key (uid).

BTW, I'm interested to know if you could suggest a practical use for multiple users with the same uid. And what are the semantics? Who owns the files they create? Is the output of `ls -l' well defined, or is it implementation dependent? ...
