    But please, please don't make the barbarism file names
    the same as the ispell hash file names. These names
    are an awful hack with no future. What happens when
    we support different dictionary versions licke
    british versus britishmed? What happens when we want
    to use barbarisms an aspell at the same time?
    The ispell names are purely historical with nothing
    logical or deterministic behind them. Please just
    use the straightforward language tags instead:
    "ca_ES" or "ca-ES" or "ca". This way we don't even
    need a table at all. Surely this makes more sense?

    Andrew.
