Full ACK

In addition people who try to type URLs themselves often use what they
learned from Wikipedia: "Type it in your style". Which means the
following URLs are the same, too:
 * xx.wikipedia.org/wiki/Some Thing
 * xx.wikipedia.org/wiki/Some_Thing
 * xx.wikipedia.org/wiki/some thing

Or to sum this up: Most of the time there is more needed to fit all the
needs professional users want (slash appended or not,
whitespace/dash/underscore are the same, URL is case-insensitive,
special chars are translated on the fly (e.g. umlauts, รค -> ae)). So
this definitely needs to be put into your own middleware or view (which
does the redirect).
