But if it's misconfigured, then it'll bug out when you ask it to do
other things as well, as hitting `M-$'. So I don't understand why we
can't rely on aspell/hunspell to tell us what it knows about.
With the patch, ispell-change-directory (on this system) seems to list
all the dictionaries it can use. This is quite useful, because now that
command allows me to actually choose the dictionary variant I most want
to use, which was impossible before when they were hidden among all the
dictionaries Emacs was claiming I could use (but can't).
