Description

Tested in context of : "library" set to "okhttp-gson".

If 3rd party API returns for some strange reason e.g.:
{
"text" : "text",
"Text": "text"
}

Client generated based on specification file with fields:

private String text;
private String text;

But this is wrong as it should either add automatically postfix or take respect e.g. to schema "title" to generate field name in generated model class.

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Reproduce the issue using the specification file and the okhttp-gson library, then inspect the generated model for the text and Text fields; done means both API fields produce distinct valid field names.
