Profanity suppression in Aspell

What do you think about adding profanity suppression to Aspell as an
auxiliary file?  By adding an additional file of profanity, we can make
Aspell recognize correctly spelled profanity and not flag it, while avoiding
giving profanity in the suggestion list.  I consider this ideal in that it
doesn't get in the way of somebody who wants to use profanity, but it avoids
pushing it in somebody else's face.

It would allow sites to customize the level of suppression to match local
sensibilities without risky direct modification of the word list.

The big downside is the complexity.  We would also not help correct true
spelling errors in profanity, but if you're using profanity anyhow, then the
formality level of your writing is so low that spelling errors are accepted
and even encourgaged.
