OK; I can revert, but I don't quite understand your objection. If you
choose a dictionary that's not in the list aspell/hunspell returned, the
next time you hit `M-$' you'll just get an error message. I don't
understand the utility of having ispell let you make make a choice
that'll lead to an inevitable error.
