I don't think we want do that by default.  It only matters in case of a
multiseat setup where you actually have multiple input devices of the
same kind.  Which isn't a very typical use case.

Options I see are:

  (a) Turn console into an optional parameter, do strict checking in
      case it is present.
  (b) Add a optional 'strict' parameter.
