When a user mistypes a configuration option, we could suggest other options that are named similarly to the unknown option.

We could use a string distance such as Levenshtein's one to find the option with the most similar name and display that one.

Guava might add a function for computing string distances (google/guava#1175), we could use this when it is actually in Guava.
