I'm still feeling strong about this too.

Great, all I would need is a python dictionary generated.

I've got a working proof-of-concept in
http://beuno.com.ar/bzr/command_not_found/ (maybe I should move it to
LP).
I still haven't refactored it after your previous emails, but it's my
only priority today and tomorrow, so I should have it ready before the
sprint (although, the result on the user-end would be the same).

You can try it out using "bzr rebase". which isn't installed.
