 Using a permalink structure of only {{{/%postname%/}}}, it is not possible
 to create a post without a title which uses a slug without {{{-2}}}.

 In other words, because I choose to use only {{{/%postname%/}}}, WordPress
 is forcing un-titled post slugs to default to the Post ID and appends
 {{{-2}}} on every saved or published post that does not have a title as
 the auto-generated slug.

 My only alternative, which I’m trying to avoid, is to manually create a
 slug for posts that do not have titles.
