Research direction

The issue names no file, function or test, so start by locating the lexicon/correction module and any tests that already exist for it. Write tests for the four listed areas: exact replacements, case-sensitive protected words, overlap and ordering, and tricky-name regressions. Done when each area has at least one passing test that pins the current behavior, and the expected outputs for ordering and overlap are confirmed with a maintainer first.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
