This can be measured e.g. by comparing e.g. a simplistic soundex-conversion of the command, or possibly calculating the levenshtein distance; these algorithms sound a bit scary but should be rather simple to implement, if Java does not have anything similar already.

Yes, that kind of matching would be even better. Looking into such a solution could be an interesting followup to this fix. We currently don't use any external dependencies for Skara, and breaking that tradition shouldn't be done lightly.
