 test`

 That is true and that covered under a different ticket -
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/13459

 I think this ticket fixed the ability to have the same slug as long as
 they were on different hierarchal levels (I am not sure, please correct if
 I'm wrong).

 (i.e. domain.com/category/bananas and domain.com/bananas)
