Is mapnik-omnivore sensitive to the order of JSON items? Requires a leading "type": "FeatureCollection"?

It looks for a type early on: https://github.com/mapbox/mapnik-omnivore/blob/master/index.js#L59

Not exactly industrial-strength, but it could look for a { as the first non-whitespace character instead
