oooops this is my mistake I was comparing the old dicomV3.dic from gdcm 
against the one I produce with my python script, and I thought just like 
there is only one Patient Name, that there would only be one Operator 
Name ... but I forgot to check the VM. Thanks for the report !

Yes and No... In fact my goal is to built a reversed index and it seems 
that there is only extremely few cases. Since this is *so* convenient I 
won't mind having a code like

//If user ask for Group Length
-> return bla
//If user ask for the xx group
-> return foobar
// Everything else is unique, just loop over all name:
-> return found
