-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Walter Landry,
you would probably break several parts of the library if this were allowed, or one would need a mechanism that you cannot call 'write_fields_name' once you created a table with non-unique names. This in turn would create a lot of overhead. It's probably simpler to give the second entry a unique name.
