Description

If an option in an ior config file is a unique match to an IOR option, IOR should allow it (maybe with a warning?)

If i say "hintsFile=/foo/bar/baz", IOR should know I meant "hintsFileName"

Bonus points: misspellings should be allowed too. Something like git's "autocorrect" option
you said "colective"; assuming you meant "collective" would be nice.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating how IOR parses configuration options, then determine how unique abbreviations, warnings, and misspelling correction should interact. Done means the requested matching behavior is specified and covered for the hintsFile/hintsFileName example and the proposed autocorrection behavior.
