No.  This is a documented condition: the forwards module unconditionally
over-writes any existing forwards.

This also means forwards will over-write vacations, and vacations will
over-write forwards.

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
