During an IRC discussion, I was told that a page in namespace 0 like
Q219937<http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q219937> does
not necessarily have a one-to-one relationship with an entity like "Bonnie
and Clyde".

wbgetentities<http://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbgetentities&ids=Q219937&format=jsonfm>
API
call gives this:

"entities": {
    "q219937": {
        "pageid": 214789,
        "ns": 0,
        "title": "Q219937",
        "lastrevid": 7969610,
        "modified": "2013-02-27T09:17:25Z",
        "id": "q219937",
        "type": "item",
        "aliases": {
               ......

How is it possible to have more than one entity in one wiki page
titled Q219937, if the entity id is the same as page title? In what cases
would it be used? Is that a needed extra complexity?

In the case of Bonnie and Clyde (one wikipage in language A vs two
wikipages in B), wikidata can have three entities with links to static
redirects, apparently solving the need of one-to-many.

I am only considering item entities (ns:0), since query pages will
obviously have more than one entity associated with them.

Thanks!
