bug#31341: 26.1; setting ispell-base-dicts-override-alist no longer working

[Anders Johansson]

After updating to the 26.1 release candidate the custom 
dictionaries I have added via ispell-base-dicts-override-alist are 
no longer added.


I believe that this bug is due to ispell.el being compiled with 
lexical-binding since 26.1, which means that the value of 
ispell-base-dicts-override-alist set via 
ispell-initialize-spellchecker-hook will no longer be in scope in 
the body of ispell-set-spellchecker-params.
(This is the recommended usage in the docstring of 
ispell-initialize-spellchecker-hook).

I guess some other mechanism would have to be devised when using 
lexical-binding.
