Comment (by fristonio):

 I completely agree with your point here asn, this will be an issue if we
 add misspell to Tor. Also, the `-i` flag solution does not seem to be
 scalable at all.
 One possible solution I see here for this is to have some ''ignore rules''
 feature in misspell something like what `eslint` have for JS wherein we
 can specify with the help of comments if we want to ignore a block of code
 from being checked.
 See here: [https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring#disabling-rules-
 with-inline-comments]
 What is your thought on this?

 But as of now misspell does not have this feature. I will talk to the
 maintainer regarding this feature. Maybe I will send a PR myself for the
 same to the project if required. Till then we can keep the patch on hold.
