Title: Keys yielded while generating dataset are not being checked
State: closed
Labels: description: New feature or request
name: enhancement

The keys used in the dataset generation script to ensure the same order is generated on every user's end should be checked for their types (i.e either `str` or `int`) as well as whether they are unique or not.
Currently, the keys are not being checked for any of these, as evident from `xnli' dataset generation:
https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/56346791aed417306d054d89bd693d6b7eab17f7/datasets/xnli/xnli.py#L196
Even after having a tuple as key, the dataset is generated without any warning.

Also, as tested in the case of `anli` dataset (I tweeked the dataset script to use `1` as a key for every example):
```
>>> import datasets
>>> nik = datasets.load_dataset('anli')

Here also, the dataset was generated successfuly even hough it had same keys without any warning.

The reason appears to stem from here:
https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/56346791aed417306d054d89bd693d6b7eab17f7/src/datasets/builder.py#L988
Here, although it has access to every key, but it is not being checked and the example is written directly:
https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/56346791aed417306d054d89bd693d6b7eab17f7/src/datasets/builder.py#L992

I would like to take this issue if you allow me. Thank You!
