Comment (by Michael):
I would just like to add its really confusing to call the url namespace
attribute `app_name`, which is associated with the `AppConfig.name`. It
immediately creates a false assumption to one trying to learn how this
machinery works. It tripped me up for years.
I recommend a different name, something like `url_namespace`, that would
be explicit, and self evident.
