This is a BS answer. By this reasoning--don't judge a change on its
merits, rather on how I have to change my habits--we'd still be swinging
around in trees like our ancient ancestors.
BTW the link to fuzzy.el doesn't work, must have changed very recently
because even Google points to the incorrect location.
I haven't tried the proposed change but have this question: what about
when you're searching for a string and don't make a typo, rather, the
string isn't there? Isn't that the point of generating some sort of
error, rather than silently "fixing" it for you?
