Maybe. I could check if one's there and remove it? If it happened, there would 
be more change listeners on the list, but only 1 in the HashMap, and when 
removed, only one of the copies would be removed.

I'm not sure it can happen because of the checks in the methods that call this 
method. It hasn't come up in my tests, but I also don't think there's harm in 
removing one if there is before.
