Furthermore, in Spanish nowadays you can't expect correct orthography,
even on supposedly educated environments. Also, involuntary typos
involving accents are common.

I like the feature very much, but I'm neutral wrt its default value. If
you ask me, as a programmer, I would say no, but as an Spaniard that
occasionally uses Emacs to write Spanish text, I'll say yes.

BTW, searching for `n' also matches `ñ', which is definitely wrong.
Those are not equivalent characters by any stretch.
