Subject: 26.1; Provide a customize variable to turn off spell-checking
 literal strings in flyspell-prog-mode

I wish I could easily turn off spell-checking of literal strings in flyspell-prog-mode . Some customize variable would probably be the best way.

I mentioned it on the help-gnu-emacs mailing list here:


https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2018-07/msg00100.html

This is an excerpt from that discussion:

They are strings, aren't they?  How should Flyspell know that some
string is a file name?
