I agree with Lee's arguments about this, but maybe it would still be a nice
idea that if somebody started editing a page for Frodo that did not exist
beforen then instead of the standard edit box text you get already a list of
links to pages with titles of the form "Frodo (Some Namespace)".

FWIW, I still think Tim's proposal is the best one until now.
