Description
Some features might like to only send a copy of the same failure once, since receiving reports of the same error multiple times might not help the server at all and therefore would just be wasteful. The "queue a report" hook could allow features to deduplicate reports.
(Note that reports might not actually be identical in order for the feature to want to de-duplicate them: for example, the feature might want to de-duplicate reports that are identical except for differing timestamps inside them.)
