Internally, it uses a suffix on the set number to avoid ambiguities arising
from duplicates issues of a number, for example:

   http://guide.lugnet.com/set/1974_1
   http://guide.lugnet.com/set/1974_2
   http://guide.lugnet.com/set/1974_3
   http://guide.lugnet.com/set/1974_4

(that's three sets, each numbered 1974, within a larger value pack also
numbered 1974 :-).

You can add the _1 suffix on sets where the number was only used once, and it
will automatically canonicalize the URL to a more human-friendly form whenever
possible.  For example, if you click to:

   http://guide.lugnet.com/set/7190_1

it rewrites the URL as:

   http://guide.lugnet.com/set/7190

since 7190 is unambiguous.

But anyway, duplicate set numbers aren't too much of an issue.

Little bang for the buck, but neat geek factor.  :-)
