That's a good idea. I've split it apart for the next release and am just
re-running the test suite now.
I also removed the als to also correction after looking over the archive
results. It's triggering a ton, particularly for
spelling-error-in-binary, and appears to be almost entirely false
positives, mostly because it's a common word in multiple European
languages. For the only true positive I found, the intended word was
actually "as".
