Emacs ispell.el supports only three spell checkers (plus Enchant), whereas 
Enchant knows how to talk to seven.  My understanding is that general-purpose 
spell checkers perform particularly badly with some languages, so it would be 
of particular benefit for languages for which Enchant supports a dedicated 
checker.
