Description

I have tested misspell and while it works well, it's just really annoying the lack of words that is supported. Adding dictionaries is also very annoying since we already have (x)spell installed.

Micro should support any kind of spell checker.

Could you please add support for (x)spell or at least demonstrate how this can be achieved using a custom function?

Research direction

The issue names the existing misspell support and requests support for (x)spell or a demonstration using a custom function, but it names no files or tests. Start by tracing the current misspell integration and locating the custom-function mechanism; done means an additional spell-checker path is supported or documented with a working example.
