Well, for usability sake, we should correct what we can, but this is a
dangerous feature, if we don't issue at least some warnings about it. Because
this will lead the authors to get sloppy (please don't take me wrong here, its a
Human factor) and even worse, if the autocorrecting software is used to check
parts for voting, then a lot of errors may get by us, without beeing detected.

Well, that is really an ERROR, and it should be noted as such.
