Hi,
I would like to resume this question. The spelling suggestions are one of
the more noticeable things for the users, and there is room for
improvement. We left it here:

The option of using ranges named with characters seems OK.
I would like to add something. One of these characters (say Z) could be
used for the meaning "never show this word in the suggestions". This would
be useful in the same way some words are excluded from the synthesis
dictionary and are never used in synthesis.
If there is agreement on this, can we go into the implementation? I think
we need:
- A method for building the dictionary, assuming that it will be used only
for some languages (backward compatible).
- A way of using the frequency information in the ordering of suggestions.
For example:
new distance = current distance *10 + a number between 0 and 9 (A-K).
