Duplicated Sections
And here's what happens when you do add the same section more than once. (It's actually not hard to do if you're copying snippets into your personal.ini without stopping to look for a previously existing section.)

Python's INI parser is actually perfectly happy to have the same section duplicated. It will even work most of the time. The problem comes when the same keyword is in both duplicate sections; then the last section overrides the earlier ones.

# Works fine because not included in later section
check_next_chapter:true

# FAILS because replaced by replace_metadata in later section.  You can spend hours
# trying different things and they'll never work here.
replace_metadata:
 author=>Bobmin356=>Bobmin

<other sections>

# Overrides replace_metadata from earlier section.
replace_metadata:
 title=>WatLP: Chamber of Secrets=>Chamber of Secrets
