That reminds me of the bash-completions system that intercepts shell 
error message 'bash: z++: command not found' and offers to install a 
package providing similarly-sounding commands. It is clever but a little 
controversial, because it introduces unpredictable latency.

Octave+octave-forge has a much smaller space of possible commands so 
maybe this would be a reasonable thing to do?
