I want a spelling checker that, for a given document, I can add at the
top, a line something like

% <-these-words-are-okay-> burp bump holycow halign foobar <-end->

where the front of the line can be anything but it notices the
`<-these-words...->' or some other magic nonsense, and the <-end->
at the end, so I can add document-specific words to a document in
the comments of that document.  Or is this too crazy?  I just hate
checking the spelling of the same words time and time again, and
I'm not going to add some document-specific acronyms to my general
dictionary . . .

Oh, it would be nice if the spelling checker would generate the
above line for me too . . .

I suppose I could hack it into the public domain version of Ispell.
