Perhaps I need to elaborate what I meant. The (important) feature of
the corpus is sorting by frequency of the word usage. That's what
would be the best. Unfortunately I don't know if codespell uses linear
search or hash based (i.o.w. does it convert the input file to the
Python list() or set() object?).
