While help.autocorrect can be set to 0 to decline auto-execution of possibly mistyped commands, it still spends cycles to compute the suggestions, and it wastes screen real estate.
Update help.autocorrect to accept the string "never" to just exit with error upon mistyped commands to help users who prefer to never see suggested corrections at all.
While at it, introduce "immediate" as a more readable way to immediately execute the auto-corrected command, which can be done with negative value.
