False positive for BRE

[scop]

The acronym BRE (short for (POSIX) Basic Regular Expression) gets a false positive hit from typos, suggesting BE or BRIE.

We can't distinguish between straight acronyms and SCREAMING_CASE words, so this comes down to how we do want to treat these as words.

Our options

• Have people include abbreviations in their dictionary
• Include this in our dictionary
• Have a configurable min word length to filter out TLAs
  • scspell does this

Having a list of acronyms to cover would give me a better sense for the impact of including them.

Short term, I'm going to go ahead with min word lengths.

Bleh, the way concerns are separated, it will take some re-work to add min-length checks

I'm leaning towards BRE being a fairly specific domain word and would recommend people putting it in their dictionary, rather than a more general solution.

We can revisit this depending on what additional input people have.
