Description
### Description
This RFC proposes adding fuzzy auto-completion extending the current strict auto-completion. This would allow us to forgive things like spelling mistakes and suggest more relevant completions.
### Related Issues

### Questions
I played around a bit trying to write a fuzzy matching algorithm and using existing ones.
Right now we are lexicographically sorting the completion results. should we do the same with fuzzy results mixed in? or should aim to sort results by 'relevancy'?
### Other
No.
