Duplicate match dialog upon improper use of extends keyword in snippets

[kkew3]

This issue is related to #1519, but in a reproducible way.

In my context, I collect all math-related snippets in a file called tex_math.snippets, and I have a tex.snippets with content:

extends tex_math.snippets

# Some LaTeX-specific snippets

The issue occurs when I type any snippet in a a.tex file that is defined in tex_math.snippets, something like:

1: (frac) "math frac" (/Users/user/.vim/UltiSnips/tex_math.snippets:1)
2: (frac) "math frac" (/Users/user/.vim/UltiSnips/tex_math.snippets:1)

The cause of the issue is that according to UltiSnips doc (section UltiSnips-how-snippets-are-loaded), both tex_math.snippets and tex.snippets refer to snippets of tex filetype. Thus, by extending tex_math.snippets in tex.snippets, it might somehow trigger certain naming conflicts and causes any snippet defined in tex_math.snippets to be redefined. Interestingly, using extends tex rather than extends tex_math in tex.snippets won't trigger the issue.

Expected behavior:

Either error out, suggesting the user extends tex_math is an improper use of extends keyword, or behave as if the extends tex_math in tex.snippets is not present. In the latter case, all definitions in tex_math.snippets take effect in a a.tex file automatically, by definition.

Actual behavior:

As mentioned above, something like

1: (frac) "math frac" (/Users/user/.vim/UltiSnips/tex_math.snippets:1)
2: (frac) "math frac" (/Users/user/.vim/UltiSnips/tex_math.snippets:1)

is prompted, and the user must enter, e.g. 1<ENTER>, to select one, which IMHO is confusing and misleading.

Steps to reproduce

In the docker container:

1. Open vim x.tex
2. Type frac<TAB>
3. The prompt mentioned above occurs

It seems that under vim 9, set nocompatible needs be added to vimrc to reproduce the issue, whereas under vim 8 (in the docker environment), it's not necessary. That's why I didn't include this line in https://github.com/kkew3/ultisnips-issue1/blob/issue/docker/docker_vimrc.vim.
