Why do you consider it not a user-friendly solution? There's no limit to command-line options a speller can have, so it is not reasonable IMO to expect Emacs to have a separate variable for each one of them. Thus, our solution to have a single variable that can hold any additional options is a reasonable compromise. As for its discoverability: in general, when you are faced with a problem in some Emacs Lisp package, my advice is first to see whether a solution already exists by browsing all the defcustom's of that package (and its parent packages, if that is appropriate). One way of doing that is by using "M-x customize-group" bu giving it the group of the package. Stefan, WDYT?
