I don't know any program doing such a thing, and I don't think it is the
role of the program to predict which file the user actually wanted to
provide in the command line.
That would imply looking for files with the same name or a close name in
the current directory and its subdirectories - and maybe even in the
superdirectory? It is hard to decide when you have to stop looking for
the file.
