Comment (by DD32):

 the canonical code redirects ?page_id=43 to the correct page allready.

 I've just made a patch up which attempts to redirect pages, However, it
 may be too greedy for the likes of some.

 Lets say i have a page structure like this:
 {{{
 Sub-marine
 About Me
    Sub about me
       sub-sub about me
 }}}

 The attached patch will redirect:
 {{{
 hostname/wordpress/abOUT-me/ => hostname/wordpress/about-me/
 hostname/wordpress/abOUT-me/sub- => hostname/wordpress/about-me/sub-about-
 me/
 hostname/wordpress/abOUT-me/sub-sub => hostname/wordpress/about-me/sub-
 about-me/sub-sub-about-me/
 hostname/wordpress/sub- => hostname/wordpress/sub-marine/
 hostname/wordpress/sub-sub => hostname/wordpress/about-me/sub-about-me
 /sub-sub-about-me/
 }}}

 Now, getting to the greedy part:[[BR]]
 It also has the effect of redirecting things like:
 {{{
 hostname/wordpress/a => hostname/wordpress/about-me/
 hostname/wordpress/su => hostname/wordpress/sub-marine/
 hostname/wordpress/hta => hostname/wordpress/2007/11/05/htaccess/
 }}}

 In the case where there's multiple destinations possible, It selects the
 uppermost item alphabetically.[[BR]]
 So hostname/wordpress/a will choose 'about-me' over 'azzes', and 'about-
 me' over 'parent/aaaa-sub-page'

 If it comes accross a semi-permalink:[[BR]]
 {{{hostname/wordpress/perma/structure/post-na}}} it'll still redirect it
 to that post: {{{hostname/wordpress/perma/structure/post-name/}}} rather
 than sending it to {{{hostname/wordpress/post-nam/}}}
