This depends on where we decide to plug this feature into Flyspell, I
think. If we plug this into it before it gets to process the result
of flyspell-get-word, then all we need to do is make sure
flyspell-get-word returns nil for stretches of text that need to be
skipped.

I think what I proposed fits the bill. But it's just an idea.

I don't see how loading a single Lisp file could be of any
inconvenience.
Adding functions to preloaded packages just because we think they will
make it convenient to some third-party package is not TRT.
