 If the spelling 'foobar' has frequency 200, and the common misspelling
 'fobar' has frequency 1 because it's slipped into an indexed document
 (because it's a common misspelling!), get_spelling_suggestion() will no
 longer return a correction.

 This seems undesirable.

 I suspect that deleting the line below would fix it, and then 'foobar'
 would be returned because it has a higher frequency. This would be much
 more useful for helping users with misspellings in applications.

 {{{
 if (edist == 0) RETURN(string());
 }}}

 There does not appear to be a public API to obtain the entire list, so it
 can't be fixed in an application by more complex use of the API.
