Report on misspelled keys on `s/keys` & `s/merge` about expound HOT 4 CLOSED

@ikitommi Thanks very much for the idea!

I'm going to think a bit about whether this is something that fits well into Expound.

One concern is that I'm wondering if there a way to consistently get all keys for Clojure and Clojurescript in the case where there are multi-specs that use keys. There's more detail in this thread. Thank you for linking to the spec-tools code - I haven't yet tried it out for the multi-spec case, but it may solve this issue. I have also created https://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-2294 to ask for support in spec for this use case.

My second concern is how to integrate this into Expound. Currently Expound doesn't alter how spec validation works, it just replaces the printer. I could add options to the expound function, but changing validation in the case of instrumentation, or using explain (which are both supported) would require implementing wrappers around instrument, explain, assert, etc. This isn't necessary a bad thing (I'm considering doing this for Expound beta anyway), but I just want to think about what this would entail.

For the implementation, I think Expound would either need to modify the way spec validates data, or perhaps do a second pass of validation that specifically look for this case.

Anyway, I'll think more about this. I certainly agree it would be useful (I'd use it!) but I'm not sure if it should be in Expound or another library.

Hi. I poked with the strictly-specking that figwheel is using. Did a PR to make it work with Clojure 1.9.0. It does all the things I would like to have, but sadly, requires a custom ss/strict-keys to be used to get the errors for extra keys.

If the config maps were only 1-level deep, I could let the users define the spec as vanilla s/keys and convert them behind the scenes to ss/strict-keys and run validation against that. But can't do this with nested maps without mutating the Spec registry. Bummer. Something like local-keys might help here. I might do that, and push it to spec-tools or to strictly-specking.

I think the custom explain you mentioned isn't easy either. For s/keys, the s/explain* recurs to normal s/explain. Things like CLJ-2116 and CLJ-2251 would help here.

Hopefully you figure out a way to do this, maybe expound could use strictly-specking? Or merge the libs? I'll post here if I get something helpful in spec-tools (doesn't do multi-specs yet btw).

@ikitommi @bhauman just released spell-spec. Would this work for your use case here?

This is it. Will start integrating that into spec-tools.
