I'd like to see red lines under the parentheses, comma and 
multiple exclamation marks.  A more correct punctuation would be:

Are there any plans to include checking of whitespace and 
punctuation?  Would that be part of spell checking, grammar 
checking, or something else?  I have the default install, with no 
module for grammar checking included.

I have a secret theory that this could easily be included in a 
spell checker, but I have no running code to prove this.  My 
experience is based only on English, German and Scandinavian 
languages, which all use the same rules for punctuation.  I think 
French prefers whitespace before colon, and other languages 
probably have even more exotic rules.  Somebody with a good 
overview of different languages should be able to design a general 
punctuation checker that can be configured for each language. This 
configuration could then be part of Hunspell's ".aff" file.
