The easiest way to implement what I'm thinking is probably an addition 
to PageNotFound. If PmWiki had better search capabilities, we could add 
a (:searchresults group=$Group name=*{$Name}* :) that searched for 
APPROXIMATE matches to the pagename. Not just showing a list of pages 
that have, say Bunny in the name (RollerBunny, HockeyBunny, BunnyLove), 
but also showing approximates (like Bunnies, TheBunty, etc).

Your suggestion for anchors, applied to both anchors and regular links, 
is even better though. Maybe an ! to indicate that there are approximate 
matches available within the Group and a # to indicate that there are 
matches outside the group.
