To be clear - I mean a HINT with two suggestions rather than just one. If there are 3 or more equally distant suggestions (even if they're all from different RTEs) we also give no HINT in the proposed patch.
Showing up to 2 hints is fine as it does not pollute the error output with perhaps unnecessary messages. That's even more protective than for example git that prints all the equidistant candidates. However I can't understand why it does not show up hints even if there are two equidistant candidates from the same RTE. I think it should. -- Michael
