Provide a mechanism for handling duplicate navigation

[mrts]

This is regarding vuejs/vue-router#974.

The following comment vuejs/vue-router#974 (comment) has received 57 upvotes:

Vue Router should respect the "default" behavior of any "normal" link.

On a simple HTML page, when clicking on the link of the page we already are on, the page reload. And I think Vue Router should not alter this default behavior, because it's what most user using the web is expecting.

Another comment vuejs/vue-router#974 (comment) that has received 33 upvotes, suggests providing a new configuration option duplicateNavigationPolicy that provides reload, reject and ignore policies for handling duplicate navigation.

Is possible to consider providing a mechanism for handling duplicate navigation?
