Done.
I have the last proposal for another keybinding on the active region
(I see no other useful cases at the moment).
ispell-region is a useful command, but it is inconvenient to call.
Selecting a region in transient-mark-mode and typing M-$ (ispell-word)
will improve this by starting spell-checking on the active region.
In the patch below I managed to add a new condition without reindenting
the large body of the function `ispell-word'. I also fixed messages
displayed at the start and end of the spell-checking to be the same.
They now differ only by the suffix "..." and "done".
PS: I know that flyspell makes ispell commands unnecessary, but this
proposal is intended for users who don't use flyspell.
