Great idea. If this can be implemented cleanly, it's in. Let's be the
first shell with approximate pattern matching (and approximate globbing)
as a standard feature.

Maybe. The autocorrection could be implemented as a shell function,
which by default uses fuzzy globbing to generate corrections. Is this
what you have in mind?
