This is one of the priority focuses with improving the user experience with the
compiler.
I tried a couple general approaches:
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/15303
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/15306
but they both failed for overdoing things, for various reasons. Fixing those
reasons just seemed to be more trouble than they are worth.
I switched to the rifle shot approach,
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/15312
which is about picking out specific troublesome messages and deduplicating just
them.
If you have specific examples of duplicated error messages, please let me know.
