I suppose in the current implementation "IF NOT EXISTS" clause won't
help, because the FK name is generated in the engine.

Holyfoot, perhaps it'd still make sense to move the check down into the
engine?

Detecting identically defined foreign key constraints isn't part of this
task. This task only operates with object names.

By the way, similar tests are possible for DROP too.
