[bug#36112] [PATCH] gnu: aspell.scm: Fix dictionaries with underscore/uppercase in name.

Salut !  :-)

This looks like the right way to me!

What about avoiding regexps with something like:

  (string-map (match-lambda
                (#\_ #\-)
                (chr chr))
              (string-downcase dict-name))

?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
