Problem
Similar to internal commander functionality I needed a suggestSimilar function in my client (using commander as a dependency).
Solution
Instead of writing the function twice or using another dependency, I simply exported the suggestSimilar function already included in commander.js. That includes its type definitions.
This is a perfect solution, since I needed exactly the format produced by suggestSimilar -- my client is a CLI after all, which is why I use commander.js in the first place.
Just one note: I also updated readme.md and copied the section into readme_zh-CN.md (in english) to simplify translation.
