Description

At present we have added the suggest correction property (see PR #508) to the following rules

PSAvoidUsingCmdletAliases
PSAvoidUsingPlainTextForPassword
PSMisleadingBacktick
PSUseToExportFieldsInManifest
PSMissingModuleManifestField (PR #515)

Which other rules should be equipped with this property so that it can improve authoring/editing PS scripts experience?
