## Spellcheck
This is a spellchecker written completely in Rust. While maintaining
compatibility with the venerable Hunspell dictionary format, it does not rely on
Hunspell or any other underlying checker. NOTE: Spellchecker is currently in
alpha.
Spellcheck functionality is found in the `spellcheck` module.
### Functionality
NOTE: The spellcheck portion of this project is still under development and is
not guaranteed to work properly. Completed and future planned support include:
- [x] Basic prefix/sufix dictionary files
- [ ] Forbidden word handling
- [ ]
- [ ] Morphological/Phonetic handling
### Performance
In general, this program has been shown to be quite fast. On an average laptop,
benchmarks give approximately 40-50 ns per word. This is fast enough to
spellcheck the entire million words of the Harry Potter series in about 40 ms.
