46 spelling: 74 spelling:
47 - Hunspell has NOSUGGEST flag (use for obscene words?) 75 - NL woordenlijst naar Adri sturen.
48 - Check out Hunspell 1.1.2. 76 - Include script to cleanup a .add file. (Antonio Colombo, Jan 9)
77 - suggestions for "macARONI" doesn't include "macaroni", they are all allcap.
78 suggestion for "KG" to "kg" when it's keepcase.
79 - Autocommand event for when a spell file is missing. Allows making a plugin
80 that fetches the file over internet. Pattern == language.
81 - Using KEEPCASE flag still allows all-upper word, docs say it doesn't.
82 Don't allow it, because there is no other way to do this.
83 - Implement NOSUGGEST flag (used for obscene words).
84 - Implement NOSPLITSUGS.
85 - Rename COMPOUNDFLAGS to COMPOUNDPATTERN or COMPOUNDRULE?
86 Hunspell now uses COMPOUND with a count.
87 - Check out Hunspell 1.1.3.
88 what does MAXNGRAMSUGS do?
89 See announcement (Nemeth, 5 jan)
90 use "\/" instead of SLASH item?
91 is COMPLEXPREFIXES necessary now that we have flags for affixes?
49 - Look into hungarian dictionary: 92 - Look into hungarian dictionary:
50 http://magyarispell.sourceforge.net/rc3-beta2.zip 93 http://magyarispell.sourceforge.net/hu_HU-1.0.tar.gz
51 - Support breakpoint character · 0xb7 and ignore it? 94 - Support flags on a suffix. Used for second level affixes, rare and
95 nocomp. The flags may also be used for compounding. Default is an OR
96 mechanism with the flags of the word. Adding "compset" on the affixes
97 means the compound flags of the word are not used.
98 Instead of "SFX a 0 add/FLAGS ." we could use "SFX a 0 add . /FLAGS" (or
99 support both).
100 - When compounding Hunspell doesn't allow affixes inside the compound word,
101 only before and after it. COMPOUNDPERMITFLAG can be used to allow it.
102 Check Myspell and Aspell if they also work this way.
103 Thus a word + suffix needs a flag that it can't be used with a following
104 compound, and word + prefix can't be after another word in a compound.
105 - Implement COMPOUNDFORBIDFLAG.
106 - Support breakpoint character · 0xb7 and ignore it? Makes it possible to use
107 same wordlist for hyphenation.

57 - Have "zg" and "zw" report the file that was modified. (Marvin Renich) 113 - Have "zg" and "zw" report the file that was modified. (Marvin Renich)
58 - Add a command like "zg" that selects one of the files 'spellfile'. 114 - Add a command like "zg" that selects one of the files 'spellfile'.
115 - Add a "zug" command that undoes "zg"? Deletes the good word instead of

117 Colombo)
