Question: how are name collisions handled?

[bmulder-innoseis]

I want to be able to publish multiple instances of the same service running in the network on different hosts. In avahi, there is a specific way to handle collision errors, and a default way to change the name (calling avahi_alternative_service_name, works by appending "#1", "#2", etc.) How is this done in this library?

This is not currently handled, please feel free to open a pull request with an integration of avahi_alternative_service_name and some Bonjour equivalent

This has been a long time coming but I've started to implement this in #40

I'm having some trouble actually triggering a name collision in Avahi while testing. Is this something you had experience with? Thanks.
