Here's a simple patch for that.  I'm not in one of my moods for
oversophistication.

Sorry, I missed that.

[snip]

It doesn't work very well. For instance:

$ echo blaj
zsh: correct 'blaj' to 'blah' [nyae]?

If I type Ctrl-C, it displays:

zsh: correct 'blaj' to 'blah' [nyae]? ^C

but still waits for a character. Then, if I type "y", it displays nothing
and "echo " goes to the history.
