Currently -- as far as i can tell -- it is no problem to give the same
name to different urls and then reverse them:
{{{
url(r'^spam/$', 'myapp.views.index', name='myview'),
url(r'^spam/(?P<ham>[\w-]+)/$', 'myapp.views.detail', name='myview'),
url(r'^spam/(?P<ham>[\w-]+)/(?P<eggs>[\w-]+)/$', 'myapp.views.detail',
name='myview'),
}}}
{{{
In [8]: reverse('myview', kwargs={'ham': 'foo', 'eggs': 'bar'})
Out[8]: u'/spam/foo/bar/'
In [9]: reverse('myview', kwargs={'ham': 'foo'})
Out[9]: u'/spam/foo/'
In [10]: reverse('myview')
Out[10]: u'/spam/'
}}}
But this is not documented and it is not clear, whether this is supported
or unsupported behaviour.
It should either be stated clearly that url names should be unique /or/
that it is possible to "overload" url patterns by giving them the same
name when they have a different number of arguments.
