Who said it had to be mandatory?  It would be possible to have it as a shell
variable switch if it is possible to do it at all.  If shell variable POSTSPELL
=spell then run it through spell, if it doesn't exist, then leave it alone.  If
POSTSPELL=foo, run it through foo (I use a locally developed 'friendly' spell).
