Having the same storage with overlapping content types is a
configuration error (except if you use different 'content-dirs' I
guess). We can't make guarantees for locking, which e.g. leads to races
for allocation, it can lead to left-over references, etc.. Rather than
trying to handle this here, I'd prefer a warning about the
misconfiguration somewhere (maybe during storage.cfg parsing?) and/or
error out when attempting to create such a configuration. Adding
something in the docs also makes sense if there isn't yet.
