- Hello.
-
- Can anyone tell me how the emacs spell checker can be 'misused' to
- spell-check a program?
-
- I have written a mode for the specification language TLA+ in which all
- keywords are written CAPITAL. I want to check if all capital words are
- keywords of the language.
-
- I have written such a function by myself, but due to the high amount of
- string-handling functions it is absolutely and intolerably too slow.
- Furthermore, while using the function a lot of garbage collections are done,
- and that's not what I intended the function to do.
-
- Who can help?
- Olaf
