Comment (by jakub):
> I did not change the str representation, since this change is not
necessarily useful in the majority of use cases, that do not have
conflicting model names. In this case maybe a warning would be useful
suggesting the user to set a meaningful verbose_name.
You can also end up with conflicting names (ie. indistinguishable items
in `ContenType` combo boxes) by installing third-party apps that use the
same model class names/`verbose_name`'s.
The names are app-local and therefore should not be used in a global
context without indicating where they come from.
