Hello Jon,
Thanks for the tips, I'd be happy to do the patch justice. I'll try to find some
more bloopers while I'm at it.

Does anybody know of some good spellcheckers with an option for white-listing
words? e.g. vim's ":set spell" works quite alright, but it gets upset about
words like "filesystem" or "workqueue". It'd be great if I could address that
and sift through the docs with fewer false alarms.
