get_spelling_suggestion() will return accidental misspellings

[Ben Summers]

If the spelling 'foobar' has frequency 200, and the common misspelling 'fobar' has frequency 1 because it's slipped into an indexed document (because it's a common misspelling!), get_spelling_suggestion() will no longer return a correction.

This seems undesirable.

I suspect that deleting the line below would fix it, and then 'foobar' would be returned because it has a higher frequency. This would be much more useful for helping users with misspellings in applications.

if (edist == 0) RETURN(string());

There does not appear to be a public API to obtain the entire list, so it can't be fixed in an application by more complex use of the API.

Thanks for your report, but this is already covered by ticket#225, so marking as a duplicate.
