The base use case is being able to ask Emacs,
is this the correct spelling of
a particular word?

One advanced use case can be in combination
with this string permutation code [1] - you can
feed a bunch of chars to it, get all possible
strings, then feed the strings to the checker
and thus filter out all possible words you can
form with the letters.
