Comment (by nomeata):
> Is there not some sort of cache of previously found modules that we can
check? That won't be able to correct every typo but at least every typo
for modules that have been compiled already.
That might be possible, but such erratic randomness might not give the
best user experience. Not sure.
I suggest to first implement this (good idea!) for package imports, and
when that is done, whoever did it is surely in a good position to assess
whether it is feasible for other imports as well.
