bug#5687: 23.1; flyspell doublon at start of sentence

[Kevin Ryde]

M-x flyspell-buffer in a buffer containing

    Likewise likewise

doesn't highlight that as a doublon, where I hoped that it would, as is
does for say lower case "likewise likewise".

I struck this when I doubled-up at the start of a sentence.  Maybe some
programming abbreviation things ought to be case sensitive, but I think
a first letter capital like this should be insensitive.

Beautifully self-referential.
Practically a definition.

I didn't think of that when I spotted it or reported!
Maybe it's not a bug that the spell checker left it alone. :-)

Yeah, I think it should do likewise likewise, disregarding case.  I'm
checking in a change for this for Emacs 24.  It does mean that it'll
count ThIs this as a doublon, too, but I'm not sure that's a problem in
real life.

NASA nasa?

Anyway anyway.

Yes, you could probably write something fun that way, but it'd be a
mistake much more often :-)
