Man, you really are too prickly.

Read his mails again (snippets below). I don't see nothing that says "NO!" 
Seems to me that he's simply trying to understand what you're proposing to do. 
If you don't give him the big picture how's he supposed to read your mind?

Bowing out of this thread,

Why do you have to remove support for direct ascess to aspell or
ispell to implement support for enchant?

(What I am saying: Do cleanup after the fact, not before.)

But we don't know that yet.

What is it in SpellBase that makes to hard for the controller to work
with?

Does the controlelr ever see anything else than a pointer/ref to some
spellbase?

If it is cleanup of this you want to change, go ahead... but it really
should have no relation to introducing a new type of spellchecker.

| Interfacing with a lib or a process is different. Just read the code.

Oh bullocks.

Then our spellcheck abstraction is wrong. The controller does not need
to know if it is accessing the spellchecker through a process or
through a lib.

And what if something new pops up tommorrow? Or that I want to create
support for useing www.webster.com as my dictionary?

Will I then have to recreate the abstraction that was just deleted?
