Suggestion in Debian#900163: UTF-8 encoded personal word and replace files

Hi,

Yet another suggestion we received in Debian GNU/Linus BTS, also by Guillem
Jover

https://bugs.debian.org/900163

  The user personal word and replace files stored under
  ~/.aspell.LL.prepl and ~/.aspell.LL.pws are encoded in what I presume
  to be the locale legacy encoding? For example for the Catalan (ca),
  Spanish (es) and English (en) personal files I've got locally, they
  are encoded in ISO-8859.

  It would be really nice if the contents could be stored encoded in
  UTF-8 instead.

Regards,
