Subject: No way to control location of .aspell.en.prepl from within Emacs
Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2023 17:01:04 +0100

During operation aspell creates two files; .aspell.en.pws,
.aspell.en.prepl ("en" is of course the language code). By default
these files are placed in ~/. You can control the location of
.aspell.en.pws by setting the ispell-personal-dictionary variable. But
you cannot control the location of .aspell.en.prepl.

So a new customization variable is needed to control the location of
.aspell.en.prepl. Perhaps named
ispell-personal-replacement-dictionary. It should be mapped to
aspell's --repl option which controls where the personal replacement
dictionary is stored.
