clarify docs of `Hunspell.extra_dictionaries`
multiple things confuse me:
- the documentation says that extra dictionaries are searched relative to the config file dir, but also relative to the search paths
- it is not clear to me if extra dictionaries use the personal dictionary syntax or the full dictionary syntax
also, does search_dirs override DICPATH instead of prepending to it? is there any way to make it used in addition to the os paths?
i don't see an obvious way to just add a few new words.
the documentation says that extra dictionaries are searched relative to the config file dir, but also relative to the search paths
They're not mutually exclusive. One is project specific (relative to config) and the other takes your system paths into account ( https://github.com/drahnr/cargo-spellcheck/blob/master/src/config/search_dirs.rs#L14-L17 )
it is not clear to me if extra dictionaries use the personal dictionary syntax or the full dictionary syntax
Full dictionary syntax.

There is no implementation I am aware of accounting for DICPATH, if so, please point me to the particular code or library.
It be helpful if you could point to specific sections of documentation that's lacking clarity. Or even create a PR :)
here is the documentation i am confused about
is the dictionary relative to Cargo.toml or the config.toml of cargo-spellcheck?
DICPATH is used in hunspell itself, although i'm not sure if it activates when used as a library, or only the executible.
is the dictionary relative to Cargo.toml or the config.toml of cargo-spellcheck?
to config.toml, since a installed cargo-spellcheck instance does not have knowledge of the location of the Cargo.toml nor does it necessarily exist (cargo install cargo-spellcheck)
DICPATH is used in hunspell itself, although i'm not sure if it activates when used as a library, or only the executible
It's only used in the CLI tool from a quick look into hunspell source
See #293 for others' struggles that mostly lead to a working setup.
(I'm still fighting with the .aff side, but I don't know much about hunspell.)
