+# Function to correct a filename.  Can be used as a completion widget,
+# or as a function in its own right, in which case it will print the
+# corrected filename to standard output.
+#
+# You can adapt max_approx to the maximum number of mistakes
+# which are allowed in total.
+#
+# If the numeric prefix is greater than 1, the maximum number of errors
+# will be set to that.
+
+# Doesn't get right special characters in the filename; should
+# strip them (e.g. "foo\ bar" -> "foo bar") and then re-insert them.
