Users may have different sets of dictionaries installed for Ispell
and Aspell.  After replacing the default program name "ispell" by
"aspell", ispell.el may fail when a configured Ispell's dictionary
name doesn't match any of installed Aspell dictionary names.

To avoid such failure, ispell.el could check the Aspell's exit code
and in case when Aspell can't find a dictionary name among its list
of available dictionaries, ispell.el could change the default program
name from "aspell" to "ispell" and try to run Ispell with the same
dictionary name.
