Hi

The "misspelled module name" issue seems to be a recurring one.  
In the majority of cases the spelling is actually correct, it's just  
that that module didn't exist yet in the version of ansible that  
raises the error.  
These days the error is slightly improved:  
[https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/parsing/mod\_args.py#L306-L315](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/parsing/mod_args.py#L306-L315)

Would it be an idea to extended that wording to include something  
along the lines of:

"or this module was introduced in a future version - check  
[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/&lt;module\_name&gt;\.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/&lt;module%5C_name&gt;%5C.html) and  
upgrade to be able to use it"

I realise this doesn't help any versions out there now, but it would  
be of help for future versions.

thx
