Wouldn't some users object to such replacements? They could mask
mis-spelled words.
Also, how would Emacs know that the replacement will DTRT with the
speller which is being used? Each speller has its own capabilities
and rules wrt word morphology. These are described by the .aff files,
but Emacs is too dumb to understand those rules; the only thing it
knows is how to fetch WORDCHARS and non-WORDCHARS from there.
IOW, I'm not at all sure this is a problem that Emacs could and should
fix. Why not report it upstream to the developers of the speller you
use?
