Description
As mentioned in #44 , it would be nice to add unique_colnames=true option to load(), which would propagate to DataFrame({r data frame}, makeunique=unique_colnames).
That will make the default behaviour reasonable, while still allowing the user to control it.

Research direction
Start at the load() entry point and inspect how it constructs DataFrame({r data frame}, makeunique=unique_colnames). Add the keyword option so it is propagated to makeunique, then verify that the default and explicit true/false cases produce the intended column names.
