Maybe we should simply wait until Enchant acquires those APIs.

​I'll revisit this when a new Enchant release is made. The timing and future plans for Enchant and Emacs might affect the decision at that point, or I might have found more energy to implement hunspell dictionary scanning for Enchant!

​

I attach updated patches, one for Enchant support, and the other to remove a little historical cruft from ispell.el.

Enchant 2.1.0 (just released) adds support for getting the otherchars character list (currently only supported on hunspell), and the ispell.el support uses it.

Hence, I believe that the Enchant support should now satisfy Eli's requirements.
