Programming challenge : spelling corrector

[Mark Wieder]

All-

While I've never particularly liked lines-of-code metrics as benchmarks of 
programming efficiency (tends to reward obfuscation by cramming too much 
code into single lines), here's an interesting look at coding a spelling 
corrector in Python and then in several alternative languages for 
comparison.

What caught my eye, of course, is that there's no xtalk example. Anyone care 
to take a stab at this?
