This is just wrong. I tried to discuss what was
needed
in an open way when Barbarism support first came up.
We don't need a knee-jerk fix for a single problem.
We need something flexible that'll be able to be re-
used in intelligent ways. Surely!
Grammar errors are just errors too yet they get a
different colour. I tried to warn that even though
to you in your language you consider it spelling, that
others in other languages or other areas fixable by
the exact same new feature would look at it
differently
- this is why I advocated generic squiggle code with
colours etc settable by the caller.
(Sorry that was a rant - I'm in a volative mood)

We are? Where can I read about it? Don't have IRC
ability right now if that's where it was discussed.
