* When multiple specifying list fields in the same section combine them
eg if you had:
extensions: Foo
extensions: Bar, Baz
then previously we only ended up with [Bar, Baz]. Now we get them all.
Only applies to list fields, for single fields the second value is taken
and the first is silently discarded. This isn't good of course but the
fix is harder since we're not in a context where we can report errors.
Really we should just declare up front what kind of field it is and
inherit the right behaviour automagically, either duplicates disallowed
or allowed and combined with mappend.
