Description

By default the WebView2 browser has spellchecking enabled. We're working on an application where input can be done in multiple languages and spellchecking isn't necessary, and will be more of a distraction than it is a benefit.

Example from w3 schools html input:

Request
Add the ability to disable the spellchecking via the CoreWebView2EnvironmentOptions class. Once set, the browser's spellchecker is disabled.
