I've been considering turning my fuzzy string compare function into a

Wouldn't it be great if apt-get install dns-utils
instead of saying
    E: Couldn't find package dns-utils
it said something more useful, like
    E: Couldn't find package dns-utils, did you mean dnsutils instead?

or wouldn't it be great if fstrcmp was introspective and said:
Couldn't understand comment "comparse two strings", did you mean "compare" or "can parse" :-)
