Current ispell.el behavior wrt localwords when switching buffers with the
same language is to restart ispell if localwords are present, to avoid the
problem of conflicting localwords. If ispell-multi.el starts a new ispell
process in this case, keeping two processes for the same language, it might
also be made aware that words are accepted for that buffer session.
