Yes, there is: auto-complete suggestions happen _before_ you type,
whereas Flyspell happens _after_ you type.
But is that enough to make the activation/deactivation process so different?
I mean. currently, if you want flyspell-mode for a specific mode, you
add
```
(flyspell-mode 1)
```
to the hook function with the rest of the customisations for that mode.
Now, for auto-complete it goes the other way round... you need to add code
to disable it and that is confusing (al4m).

We already discussed that before installing the feature, but feel free
to start another discussion.
