> I saw that last hint today buveuse I misspelled a type name (dovecot-configurtation). I understand the hint is great when you forget to import a service module, but it's not so great when the error is misspelling. Maybe the solution would be: if the unbound variable is the name of a service, propose using that module, otherwise don't show any hint.
A hint is nothing more than that, a hint (as opposed to a “solution”),
but maybe you’re right about removing the “Did you forget ‘use-modules’”
hint.
Thoughts?
(Misspelling is where we’d need something using the Levensthein
distance. I’m sure one could do a PhD on this topic. :-))
