This is how duplicates of URLs are resolved. If you see '-a', '-b', '-c'
etc, in URLs, then you certainly have an URL duplicate situation.

URL duplicate situation arises when two or more objects suggest the same
URL by their #preferedUrl method.

When an address is created (by an App), we don't know name and surname
yet, but Aida already needs his URL. So his #preferedUrl returns
'/address/'. and because the previous one already registered this URL,
Aida resolvs the duplicate by registering '/address/-a'.

Another possibility is to change new person URL after adding it to the
address book, because at that point name and surname is entered.

I just updated the tutorial adding and explaining changeToPreferedURL:
for this case.
