Hi Sebastien,

I am not saying multiple tocs should not be allowed.  I am all for that.
However, I think that by inserting a #+TOC line, the user indicates
desire for local control.  Therefore, org-export-with-toc should be ignored,
and, by extension, also #+OPTIONS: toc (because this is really a local way
to set org-export-with-toc).
