 Cannot advice-add the same function :before and :after
Date: Sat, 10 May 2014 16:09:21 -0400

I installed a patch in `emacs-24' which will let you add the same
function multiple times, as long as you specify different `name'
properties for each one.

With the new code, you can remove each one individually by specifying
its `name', or you can remove them all by specifying the function itself.
