Feature request: suggestions upon typos or incorrect casing #362

Open

Description

@thisisnic

Minor quality-of-life type thing, but it could be nice if typos in driver names led to suggestions when there is a driver which name has a short edit distance from the user's input, instead of erroring. E.g. instead of

@thisisnic ➜ /workspaces/adbc-lab (main) $ dbc install postrgesql
Error: could not find driver: driver `postrgesql` not found in driver registry index

We might get something like

@thisisnic ➜ /workspaces/adbc-lab (main) $ dbc install postrgesql
  Driver `postrgesql` not found in driver registry index, did you mean:
    'postgresql'

An even narrower scope might be just casing, e.g. if a user types, e.g. DuckDB instead of duckdb.

    Thanks. Related but separate is the concept of aliases: #11. Getting both this and that in the release after 0.3.0 would be good.
