In order to specify module conflicts it's currently necessary to add the 'conflict' clause to the modulefiles of both packages. This can lead to bugs: today I noticed that anaconda is marked as conflicting with psi-python*, but not vice versa. This means that if anaconda is loaded before psi-python27 then no error is reported.

Is this something that pmodules should handle (by checking conflict lines of currently loaded packages during load operations), or is it just something to be aware of when writing module files?
