[IPython-dev] Spell check with the new modal input?

The problems comes from the codemirror instance itself... in fact there is
no a "common" text area, so... your browser do not know how to spellcheck
something that did not exist as a text area (although it looks like one).
It is no so difficult to do find an "optimal" solution with codemirror
layouts, but you need to know how to apply it, and you will also need a js
library which perform the spellcheck... so, because I wanted something
useful very quickly, I developed the extension I linked before... It is not
the best solution, I know, but I can spell check now  (in a "poor man" way
;-))
