Because besides ispell there's also aspell, hspell, myspell and probably 
a few others. Of course ideally code should be written that handles all 
the checkers and propagates the ignore words to all of them, but quite 
frankly I'm not sure if I can finish it before the next release and I 
prefer to have "a" working implementation in time than "the" 
implementation not in time.
Actually aspell plugin has code to handle it but ispell plugin doesn't 
it. So once it's ported I'll switch it but for now this will do.

The run-together detection is super simplified right now and I enabled 
it by default for all because personally I was sick of things like 
KUniqueApplication or KSimpleConfig or YouGetThePoint marked as 
misspelled.

KSpell 2 currently can't do that which is why this option is not there. 
Note that besides ispell there's a lot more spellcheckers which don't 
have that future which is why in order to have consistent options I 
need to implement it on a higher level for those.

Thanks for the comments :)
