Spell check only comments and text strings in c++ files

[krzychb]

Expanding on #118 I have similar issue with spell check of source.cpp files.

The problem is that spell check flags function calls, class names, include file names, variable names, etc. This is not expected behavior of spell checker working with c++ (or pure c) code.

Desired functionality would be to ignore all c code and spell check only comments and text strings.

I believe that there are other Atom users and c programmers interested in similar enhancement. If so, then please provide your comments to convince Atom development team to get it implemented.

I am happy to submit this enhancement request.
I wish Atom team and users no any issues with atom/spell-check 😄 👍

I have a similar issue with LaTeX files. Instead of a C-only fix, I would propose adding a user-option to spell-check's options/preferences to toggle checking of language-dependent, highlighted keywords/strings.

Same here, it would be great to ignore language specific keywords.

related to #19 (which I would vote up but it's locked because people were making +1 comments - now that github supports emoji's it would be nice to have that one unlocked so (a) dups like this and #118 don't keep being opened and (b) developers can better gauge community desires)

Sounds like a poll to me. Should be able to lock comments but allow a poll to proceed in the issue, like you say, to gauge community interest.

@ahogen - If there's a poll, then folks shouldn't need to make +1 comments, in which case comments shouldn't have to be locked down in the first place, and if comments aren't locked down then when someone genuinely needs to make a comment (for example, indicating overlap with another issue or feature request) then they could do so.

Polls are good and have their purpose, likewise, having the ability to comment is good and has its purposes.
