 This ticket is a fork of #1388. We already give suggestions when the user
 mispells names, based on edit distance. But this does not cross the
 boundaries between different kind of names.

 It would be helpful if {{{Not in scope: type variable `int'}}} would also
 say {{{Did you mean the type constructor `Int'}}}?
