My en_GB.utf8 ispell only allows "embargoes". What is your opinion on
"dependant" and similar words I've left out?
dependant is flagged as wrong in US dictionary (only valid in UK
dictionary, and even then, it has only the financial sense and not the
inter-relatedness sense that we are more prone to be wanting throughout
code). There is no word 'independant' in either variant. So another
patch to s/\(\(in\)\?depen\)dant/\1dent/ would be correct.
