It's an interesting idea. The existing internal spell checker support
does this with spell's output, except that it doesn't store the
un-spellchecked text in the cutbuffer. However, specifying the command
and reserving a key for it would be complicated, and it can't get into
the next version of nano in any case, since nano's in a feature freeze
for its next release right now. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
