This is a bit confusing as it describes the behavior introduced by
this series rather than the state of the codebase before these
patches.  Since subcommand autocorrection doesn't exist yet, it
would be clearer to phrase this as describing your implementation
choices. Perhaps:

    By default, this implementation enables autocorrection for
    builtins with mandatory subcommands. However, for those using
    PARSE_OPT_SUBCOMMAND_OPTIONAL, autocorrection is skipped to
    avoid misinterpreting legitimate unknown arguments as mistyped
    subcommands.

or something, perhaps?
