About Enchant, last time I looked at it it was mostly intented for use
through libenchant, not through the standalone enchant binary, which was
more like some kind of testing tool. As a matter of fact its list of
options is quite short and it seems to lack support for personal
dictionaries.
Also, there is no easy way to know which particular spellchecking engine is
being used. Enchant uses $(datadir)/enchant and ~/.enchant config files to
define preferences, but I see no way to make enchant tell which one is being
used. So, it is not easy to parse dictionary info.
Sorry if I have missed some things. Gmail tags some of Reuben mails as spam
and puts them out of my usual workflow.
