cargo-spellcheck

Check your spelling with hunspell and/or languagetool.

Usecase

Run cargo spellcheck --fix or cargo spellcheck fix to fix all your documentation comments in order to avoid narsty types all over the place.

Meant as a helper simplifying review as well as possibly improving CI after a learning phase for custom/topic specifc lingo. cargo spellcheck has a return code 1 if any unknown words are found, and 0 on success.
