Description
In dune-project there are many opportunities for typos that are technically correct but don't express the user's intention. Two examples:
(package
(name foo)
(depends
(bar (= version)) ; should be :version
(baz :with_test)))) ; should be :with-test
Desired Behavior
If a dune project has obvious typos it would be helpful if dune could detect this and print a warning with a suggestion of what the correct value should be.
Additionally, dune could promote the suggested changes into dune-project, or even assume the correct version and print a warning. In these two cases we should allow the user to override this behaviour just in case it's not a typo and they really want the version of their project to be "version".
