@dibarbet: it's not that there's different entries, there's two entries with the same numeric value. Back in the days we apparently couldn't decide whether TypeKind (which is shared between C# and VB) should use the C# keyword name or the VB keyword name, so we chose "both" as the option and had two entries with the same numeric value. When you call ToString() the framework just has to pick one. |

We have two members in TypeKind that point to the same value, Struct and Structure. Because of this, Enum.ToString(), which under the covers uses a binary search, isn't stable which one it will pick and it can change if other TypeKinds are added. This ensures we keep using the same string consistently. We also have a few members in MethodKind that are also duplicates, but it appears those have kept stable. To be safe, we now serialize explicitly. Fixes dotnet#44714
