I objected to that upthread. I don't think that picking a random one is
sane at all. Listing them all might be OK (I notice that that seems to be
what both bash and git do).
Another issue is whether to print only those having exactly the minimum
observed Levenshtein distance, or to print everything less than some
cutoff. The former approach seems to me to be placing a great deal of
faith in something that's only a heuristic.
