OK. The confusing part is that KSyntaxHighlighter::highlightBlock is email specific,
this is the part that should be moved out. All we want in kdelibs is "syntax highlighting
using spellchecking". So:
1) KSyntaxHighlighter should be removed (the quoting code should move to kdepim)
2) KSpellingHighlighter should be removed too, since it doesn't use kspell2, and in
kspell2 there is already a syntax highligher!
3) KDictSpellingHighlighter might have more stuff than KSpell2::Highlighter
so it should be ported to KSpell2::DictHighlighter.
