/**
 * @libdoc Spelling Checker Library
 *
 * @ref KSpell offers easy access to International ISpell or ASpell
 *  (at the user's option) as well as a spell-checker GUI
 *  ("Add", "Replace", etc.).
 *
 * You can use @ref KSpell to
 *  automatically spell-check an ASCII file as well as to implement
 *  online spell-checking and to spell-check proprietary format and
 *  marked up (e.g. HTML, TeX) documents.  The relevant methods for
 *  these three procedures are @ref check(), @ref checkWord(), and
 *  @ref checkList(), respectively.
 *
 * @ref KSpellConfig holds configuration information about @ref KSpell as well
 *  as acting as an options-setting dialog.
 *
 * KSpell usually works asynchronously. If you do not need that, you should
 * simply use @ref KSpell::modalCheck(). It won't return until the
 * passed string is processed or the spell checking canceled.
 * During modal spell checking your GUI is still repainted, but the user may
 * only interact with the @ref KSpell dialog.
