Comment:

 This patch makes testcase spell7 fail.  That testcase was deliberately
 added in r14859, to partly address #225.

 I agree it's arguable, but I think this probably isn't a bug.  If you
 typed "sound" you might have meant "round" (even though "sound" is
 certainly a valid word), so '''suggesting''' a correction to "round" isn't
 an unreasonable thing to do.  So thanks for the patch, but I don't think
 we want to make that change.
