I do not think this is off by default, by the way. "off by default" means that you would not waste extra cycles to compute the list of suggestions.

I am not suggesting that it should be "off" by default in that sense, though. I am just pointing out that it is not described correctly.

I also noticed that this does not seem to pay attention to mistyped aliases. Is it by design, oversight, or lazyness?
