# allowed words. : regex for file pattern matching... ".*' is the default if not specified
oooooooooooo : '.*SpatialNeighborSubsampler.*'

Have in code spelling checking disable/enable as comments

@dave3d This is a proposal that would allow for a main dictionary that is compatible with many tools (i.e. ispell, ide's) and an auxiliary dictionary that provides per-file exceptions for the pull-requests.
I don't think there is a great solution to all the issues related to automated spell checking.

I like the 2nd proposal. I've thought about doing something like that but didn't really have the time/motivation.
