JSON conversion omits intentionally duplicate data

[brandarchist]

If you look at DOTAHeroes/npc_dota_hero_axe/Bot/Loadout, items like Blades of Attack are only listed once in the JSON while existing twice in the TXT.

Example:

                "item_vanguard"                 "ITEM_DERIVED"
                "item_blades_of_attack"         "ITEM_CORE"
                "item_blades_of_attack"         "ITEM_CORE"
                "item_phase_boots"              "ITEM_DERIVED"
                "item_blink"                    "ITEM_EXTENSION"

converts to

          "item_vitality_booster": "ITEM_LUXURY",
          "item_vanguard": "ITEM_DERIVED",
          "item_blades_of_attack": "ITEM_CORE",
          "item_phase_boots": "ITEM_DERIVED",
          "item_blink": "ITEM_EXTENSION",

How would you fix that?

In a similar discussion here, one of the options was to make duplicate item declarations unique. I'm working on a variation of that theme, as order is also not preserved in other languages, which prepends any instance of item_ inside the Loadout blocks with an incrementing digit.
