Description
If I do: `pub.dev/packages/stringscanner` I'll get a 404.
But in practice I was probably looking for `pub.dev/packages/string_scanner`.
However, since we don't allow `stringscanner` to be published, because the name is too similar to `string_scanner`.
Maybe, we could use the same logic and do a "did you mean string_scanner?" feature.
It seems pretty cheap, we have all the data in-memory and the fuzzy logic already exists.
