#66 glossaries: Two abbreviations with identical short form deduplicated

[shuber2]

It may happen that we would like to define ambiguous abbreviations, i.e., abbreviations with identical short forms but different long forms, depending on the context. For instance, in my case I have this minimum example:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[xindy]{glossaries-extra}
\newabbreviation[description=random access machine (computing model)]{ram-cm}{RAM}{random access machine}
\newabbreviation[description=random access memory (memory type)]{ram-mem}{RAM}{random access memory}
\makeglossaries

\begin{document}

A test with the computing model \gls{ram-cm} and the memory technology
\gls{ram-mem}, and again with \gls{ram-cm} and \gls{ram-mem}.

\printglossary[type=\acronymtype, title=Abbreviations, style=long]
\end{document}

They will be expanded as expected on first use with their respective long form, i.e. \gls{ram-cm} will show "random access machine (RAM)" and \gls{ram-mem} will show "random access memory (RAM)". However, \printgloassaries will only show one entry for "RAM". However, when I remove the "xindy" option from glossaries-extra then two entries show up as expected.

I suspect xindy to be responsible for this undesired deduplication, which appears to happen on the basis of the short form, not on the label.
