This is a great solution and deserves to go into the utils or tools package. When I first saw Tal's message, I immediately thought, "How many times have I seen a typo or poorly worded sentence in the help pages I maintain, let alone those of other maintainers?" Unless it's a real blooper, I decide that it's not worth the trouble of tracking the maintainer down to fix a spelling mistake. An email address that was obtainable during that brief spasm of motivation would enable me to use it productively, and even better, might result in other people notifying me of my mistakes before I manage to notice them.
