Yes, that might be a good heuristic.  What do others think?

| This is cool, but I think we could tweak the defaults a bit.  e.g.:
| 
| arrowfail002.hs:6:17:
|   Not in scope: `x'
|   Perhaps you meant one of these: `f' (line 7), `g' (line 6)
| 
| Maybe disable fuzzy matching for single-character identifiers?
