cargo --help`printf "\\x8d00"`

panics, because "did you mean?" tries to use the arg with an invalid codepoint. It's an invalid user input, not a programmer bug, so IMHO it shouldn't cause a panic.

This fix uses to_string_lossy, so this case displays as:

error: Found argument '--help�00' which wasn't expected, or isn't valid in this context
Did you mean --help?

Since that's an error case, the lossiness shouldn't be an issue, and the correction is still useful.

Related to #751
