Comment (by ericlewis):

 Had a great, serendipitous chat with @coffee2code, @boonebgorges and
 @williamsba1 about this today at WordCamp US.

 We've decided to change course and base the implementation on
 @coffee2code's plugin [https://wordpress.org/plugins/no-slug-conflicts-
 with-trash/ No Slug Conflicts with Trash].

 A new post (e.g. "about") should take its desired slug. If a trashed post
 exists with the same slug, it should be modified in the same manner as
 wp_unique_post_slug() (e.g. renaming to "about-2"), while storing its
 previous slug "about". If the trashed post "about-2" is ever untrashed, it
 should try to assume its previous slug "about".
