Boy, ispell really does stink it can't do this
programmatically. Well, at least mine can,
altho in an intricate, reversed way which
doesn't seem sound or natural.
It is a small wonder, in an ironic way, that
this isn't one of the first - if not *the*
first - building block around which the whole
software is made!
BTW who needs `+' to do addition in Lisp?
(+ 1 2 3) and such? When everyone knows it is
much more convenient to read the digits from
a buffer?
