 actually hook into redirect_canonical(), I guess as a filter since it
 returns data. Then the filter can be removed.

 Can we not just hook {{{redirect_guess_404_permalink()}}} onto
 {{{redirect_canonical}}} and be done with it - no new filters needed?

 > {{{
 > $redirect_url = apply_filters( 'redirect_guess_404_permalink',
 $redirect_url );

 filter name is lame -- perhaps can be more generic considering the
 positioning.
