Can we please get the following added to site-init.el?
(autoload 'ispell-buffer "ispell"
"\
Pass the entire buffer through ispell"
t)
(autoload 'ispell-region "ispell"
"\
Check a region for spelling errors interactively. The variable
which should be buffer or mode specific ispell-filter-hook is called
to filter out text processing commands."
t)
I really am getting sick of telling users that before they can type
"M-x ispell-buffer", they have to type "M-x ispell" in order to force
the ispell library to get loaded.
Frankly, I am puzzled over why the "ispell-word" function was
included in site-inet.el and the other two were not. If the
justification was that only one needs to be included, then it seems to
me that "ispell-buffer", which is used far more often than
"ispell-word", would have been a better choice.
