Hi Mike,
This assessment is just plain wrong. While it is true that aspell uses
templates and exceptions, it is not wrong of us to use it (or against our
coding guidelines, either).
We depend on pspell and aspell as shared libraries, which are completely
contained within themselves. The functions that we use from the pspell API do
not throw exceptions or require that we use templates to pass in the arguments.
