  45    --  Determines if the string Found is a plausible misspelling of the
  46    --  string Expect. Returns True for an exact match or a probably
  47    --  misspelling, False if no near match is detected. This routine
  48    --  is case sensitive, so the caller should fold both strings to
  49    --  get a case insensitive match.
  50    --
  51    --  Note: the spec of this routine is deliberately rather vague. This
  52    --  routine is the one used by GNAT itself to detect misspelled keywords
  53    --  and identifiers, and is heuristically adjusted to be appropriate to
  54    --  this usage. It will work well in any similar case of named entities
  55    --  with relatively short mnemonic names.
