What is more natural > to do in such case is to call `ispell-region' on a selected region. I don't like such a reinterpretation of a word-related command: it's counterintuitive. It is okay to do that with commands that by default work on the whole buffer, but not with commands that work on a word. Do we even have other *-word commands that modify their behavior in such a way?
