Bug#487732: Spell-checking TeX explicit chars like \'a



While reading the "LaTeX, A Document Preparation System" book (2nd edition, 
from Addison Wesley), I found this on page 38:

> Commands to produce accents and symbols from other languages allow you to
> put small pieces of non-English text in an English document.  They are not
> adequate for writing a complete document in another language.

...and then there goes a suggestion to use the babel package. So this implies 
that Leslie Lamport, the creator of LaTeX and also the author of the cited 
book, did not intend sequences like \'a to be used often enough to make 
spell-checking words containing them a must-have feature.
