Since flyspell-prog-mode just sets up a mechanism for skipping user-defined words, I actually see no reason to have "prog" in that name, none at all. E.g., as already mentioned, text markup modes may wish using that, and they have nothing to do with programming languages. Likewise, spell-checking some other formatted text, like email messages. It's a bad name, that's all. The question is, can we come up with a significantly better one, given the generality of the feature?
