## Caveats
There is no fields deduplication out-of-the-box.
Using the same key multiple times creates new key in final JSON each time.
```go
logger := zerolog.New(os.Stderr).With().Timestamp().Logger()
logger.Info().
Timestamp().
Msg("dup")
// Output: {"level":"info","time":1494567715,"time":1494567715,"message":"dup"}
```
However, its not a big deal though as JSON accepts dup keys, the last one prevails.
