AFAIK Aspell has no proper support for composites with hyphens. It just cannot 
deal with hyphens in input, as it were.

Of course we can make Aspell ignore the hyphens, but IMHO this does not really 
solve the problem, on the contrary. If we pass all parts of hyphenated 
composites as separate words to aspell (as we do now), the spell checking of 
composites becomes pretty dubious IMHO. The spellchecker currently happily 
accepts composites such as table-fruit-onion-give-with-sober-an, just because 
it knows any single component. As a user, I think I'd prefer the spellchecker 
to ask me if I'm serious in light of such beasts.
