grep doesn't find any other mention of Jinx recently.
It is it a program we could reasonably install in Emacs?
Or has it mentioned to show that such a feature is possible?

This is not ideal, but it is pretty good.

If Hunspell can already handle mixing languages in one paragraph,
is the best option to add guess-language to Emacs core
and urge those who need mixing within paragraphs to use Hunspell?
