A C++ interface wouldn't be all that different. If the (elisp level)spell-checking package provided clear separation between UI andaccessing the spell-checker (the API that I'd like), then support forother spell-checkers could be implemented easily. It is a very bad idea to link other appls such as Aspell into Emacs. It would cause constant maintenance trouble. So we definitely should not do this.
That's not what I suggested. I was thinking of using documented and stable APIs for spell-checking.
What I believe is missing now is a clear separation between UI and the code that interfaces the spell-checker. ispell.el mixes UI, text extraction ("skipping") and interfacing the backend.
