Following the short time thinking there was a regression somewhere wrt to attribute constructors (working on BOO-1078), I think we should get a typo warning for some boo keywords that are used in a precise context.
After all C# and other languages do not have such potential typo problem with constructors/destructors (at least) since the syntax requires repeating the type name.

Typo would be checked in a method context only (not property etc..) case-insensitively (ie. "def Constructor" would warn) and with +/- 1-letter distance (such as "def IsConstructor" for instance, do not warn).

'Keywords' to be checked:
constructor
destructor

And also (if static):
op_Addition
op_Subtraction
op_Multiply
op_Division
op_Modulus
op_Exponentiation
op_Equality
op_LessThan
op_LessThanOrEqual
op_GreaterThan
op_GreaterThanOrEqual
op_Match
op_NotMatch
op_Member
op_NotMember
op_BitwiseOr
op_BitwiseAnd
