It would work, but once again: who are we doing this for, if word
lists, let alone those for languages other than English, are not
widely available?

We already have ispell-change-dictionary-hook, which users can use to
set ispell-alternate-dictionary to a suitable value when the
dictionary is changed.  Isn't that enough, given that
ispell-alternate-dictionary is already a defcustom?
