Yes, looks like a nice idea for a middling-difficulty project with
IDLE, and it would be useful even if made _particularly_ unintrusive
(spelling correction would be done only on specific request, and
only when feasible without ambiguity regarding e.g. standard library
modules and names therein -- a really minimal part of [4], yet it
would STILL save quite some trouble/hassle to those using it...).
