Hunspell is a fantastic spell-checker. But this approach has two
downsides: 1. Hunspell is slow compared to ispell/aspell, which can be a
problem with larger documents. 2. If you set multiple dictionaries, you
will get false negatives since a typo in one language might be a word
in another language. Depending on the set of languages used, this could
be a real problem.
