Thanks, this looks nice. However,

$ fri flatten
------------------------------------------------------ Multiple choices:

     Array#flatten, Set#flatten
$ fri A#flatten
nil

so I need to fully spell out which one I'm interested in. Could you
please add a simple string distance or something like that so that one
can use shortcuts, ie fri A#flatten should choose Array#flatten since
it is the closest one. If I don't misremember we discussed and added
this functionality to ri way back then.
