[wp-hackers] post_name_check

[Alex King]

Thanks Jamie. I guess this is easier to update than having to re-hack 
the source. :)

After thinking more about the 'unique permalink' side of things, I 
don't think checking the permalink structure and applying the unique 
suffix or not is a good idea. What may be a unique permalink now could 
easily be non-unique in the future.

For example, someone could decide that in addition to their single 
permalink structure:

/YYYY/MM/DD/post-slug/

they also want posts available by category:

/category-name/post-slug/

I think the default behavior is probably smart, if inelegant for my 
usage.

Cheers,
