The new and improved GNU aspell happpens to be almost 100% 
source-compatible with pspell, in fact, no changes to php source are 
necessary to use it. I am against creating a yet-another config option. 
We've got a few of those already.

I have no problem with nuking aspell and placing a dummy entry in the 
docs (akin to www.php.net/delete) telling people to use pspell, because, 
as far as PHP is concerned, it's the same thing, if that's ok with 
everyone else. But I don't see a good reason for an alias where you 
don't need one.

just my 2 kopecks :)
