ability to allow combined words

[ssbarnea]

Very often in programming we have keys that are made from concatenating two words and I used spellcheckers that were able to recognize such combinations and to ignore them.

Having to add a huge amount of words to ignore lists is not only annoying but also decreases the performance of the spelling.

Practical examples is****, list***, match***, and these come from public API of famous libraries, even stdlibs.

This is already supported. See the "camelCase" discussion. See also the "enableCompoundWords" setting to allow not just "isFound" but also "isfound".

The challenge with enableCompoundWords is that it considers some clearly misspelled words to be considered correct. See #345

It might be nice to allow for common patterns like is* and error* to allow isset or errorcode while being able to avoid missing errors like avalible.

Closing as stale.

Note: It is possible to add compoundable words to your dictionary:

cspell.config.yaml

words:
  - *error*
  - *code*

This will allow compounds like: errorcode, codeerror, codecode.
