Huh? Edit distance is a good way to handle typoes --- and, while
some people have asserted that "we don't need that because I can see

It occurs to me to mention, in the vein of "over-friendly-ing is bad",
the example of WATFOR/WATFIV: even a well thought out typo detection
facility can badly obscure things. But as long the proposal is to
conditionalize these on a compile flag, that isn't too much of an issue.
