Disable Slug Uniqueness

I would like the ability to disable the uniqueness checking per-post from the Post settings sidebar, or alternatively as a site-wide setting. When enabled, this could would pass the skipDuplicateChecks [1] option when calling generateSlug [2] so that no database validation is performed.

In order to support a URL hierarchy, I’ve set up a routes.yaml like the following:

collections:
  /referral-programs/:
    permalink: /referral-programs/{slug}/
    controller: channel
    template: channel-referral-programs
    filter: tag:hash-referral-programs
  /product-launch/:
    permalink: /product-launch/{slug}/
    controller: channel
    template: channel-product-launch
    filter: tag:hash-product-launch

The above works fine and I can post articles such as:

/referral-programs/ideas (slug: ideas, tag: #referral-programs)
/product-launch/checklist (slug: checklist, tag: #product-launch)

However, I can not publish different “ideas” articles to both URLs. For example, I write an article all about referral program ideas and another article all about product launch ideas. They should be published, respectively, at:

/referral-programs/ideas (slug: ideas, tag: #referral-programs)
/product-launch/ideas (slug: ideas, tag: #product-launch)

However, given that Ghost ensures the uniqueness of slugs, the following is forced (and undesirable):

/referral-programs/ideas
/product-launch/ideas-2
