Currently multiple estimates from the same study are being distinguished via the mark_multiple_estimates option in load_epidata.
If data are loaded through this function and passed to forest_plot, these estimates will then appear on separate lines in the plot.
However, there is no option of distinguishing them in the forest_plot functions by themselves, or separately outside of load_epidata.
So if someone uses the forest plotting function directly, they have to reinvent the wheel by creating unique labels.

This needs to be changed.
