Tags: patch

Find attached an attempt to make Flyspell talk to the spell checking
process outside of the main command loop using jit-lock.

To activate this mode of operation one should set 'flyspell-synchronous'
to nil before turning Flyspell on.

Not many of the numerous Flyspell options are supported, but hopefully
this can be considered useful even without covering all of them.  In any
case, let me know what you consider to be the essentials.

Also, one obvious glitch is that one gets JIT™ corrections for the word
being currently typed.  Before going on an writing some ugly logic to
avoid that, and since one can influence an overlay appearance when the
mouse pointer hovers it, I was wondering if there's something analogous
for the cursor.
