As discussed in the following:
https://bugs.python.org/issue17537
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2013-January/018844.html

DictReader has a feature that will destroy data without warning if fieldnames had duplicate values (manual or automatic entries)

Proposing renaming and re-implementation of DictReader class to instead return enumerate style output with a child class of DictReader to specifically return a dict object.
