use them unless you use the C ABI.  Basically if you add "foo-bar" and then

aspell_speller_suggest things will work as expected.

Right, I am using the C API.   And I guess I did as you describe
simply by ignoring hyphens.  But when I add a hyphenated word by
aspell_speller_add_to_personal, I get this error

The word "built-in" is invalid. The character '-' (U+2D) may not
appear in the middle of a word.

Did you try setting validate-words to false. You can do this via the C API.

About pushing/popping private word lists:

You lost me.

Can't have that!

A script file (as they are called) can imbed other files that can
imbed yet other files and so on.

For each imbedded script file, I can have an addenda file that
contains words that are considered valid within the script file, but
not elsewhere.  Macro keywords, for example.

Thus, I would like to add a number of words to the personal list for
the duration of an imbedded file and then remove them again.  If there
were an opposite to aspell_speller_add_to_personal, I could run the
words through that, but there isn't.  A push/pop facility seems to be
what supports my requirement best.  That is, words added after a push
are all removed by the matching pop.

Some hints:

  The aspell core should be able to handle this but I'm not sure I expose
  enough of the internals to be able to do this.  You can always
  interface directly with Aspell using its native C++ API.  But I offer
  absolutely no guarantee that I won't break you code between releases.

  Aspell can only have 1 personal dictionary, but additional dictionaries
  can be loaded bu using the add-extra-dicts option.

  You might want to look into using the session dictionary which you can
  clear by using aspell_speller_clear_session.
