Sorry, as I wrote things might seem that I am reluctant about using
ispell-multi.el, while I am in favour of that because it is cleaner and because
the old mechanism comes from a time where opening parallel ispell processes
was not cheap.

But unless ispell-multi.el is made *the* way of handling things (something I
would like) if ispell.el can be used without ispell-multi.el it should also
handle session-localwords properly and standalone. I admit this is not a big
problem if ispell-multi is enabled by default, but even if ispell-multi is
integrated into ispell.el, at least for flyspell-large-region is still good
to have ispell.el and flyspell.el keelping a record of buffer
session-accepted words and handle them properly (f-l-a uses a completely
different ispell process).
