 If I create a page, then trash it, then create another page or post with
 the same permalink WordPress won't let me use it.  Instead it will add a
 -2 to the end of the permalink.  From a UI standpoint it would be nice if
 WP alerted the user the reason why the slug can't be used.

 I had this happen to me yesterday and it took me a few to realize the
 permalink I was trying to create was in the trash so I couldn't use it.  I
 could see other users having this same issue.
