Flag suggestion does not always work

Usually, GHC is very helpfully telling me about misspelled flags, but sometimes it fails. Did not yet look deeper, but when I wrote -fppr-cols=1000 it did not suggest -dppr-cols=1000. I am not sure if this is due to the = or whether it branches on -f vs. -d earlier. This surely can be improved! Likely newcomer-friendly..
