It would be helpful here to recognize that the author probably meant to write CxxString.

Research direction
Examine the error reporting code in the cxx crate, specifically the part that outputs 'unsupported type' messages. Look for how type names are validated and consider adding a simple string similarity check (e.g., Levenshtein distance) to suggest corrections. The relevant code is likely in the macro expansion or CLI error handling modules. Check if there are existing tests for error messages that would need updating.
