Description
After creating the initial index the SpellChecker class does not provide methods to add/remove words.
The user is able to add/remove words to the F_WORD field and doing this is separate from the SpellChecker. The down side is that the added word is not available as a suggestion because it has not been added to the other 'out of the box' fields such as start/end/gram fields.
Please consider providing public addWord/removeWord methods.

Research direction
Start by locating the SpellChecker class and reviewing how the F_WORD, start, end, and gram fields are built and updated after initial indexing. Trace the existing word-management path, then define the behavior of public addWord and removeWord methods. Done means added or removed words are reflected in suggestions across the relevant fields.
