It is a good idea, if it works reliably enough,
In order to be convenient, it needs to choose heuristically how
much text to test.

I suggest having a custom variable `ispell-language-list'
which could look like ("french" "spanish" "english").
Maybe there should be a special short file property to specify
a given file's spell check language.

Let's not complicate usage by putting small pieces of code
in separate packaes.  It would be simpler for users
to add this code to ispell.el.
