Because it had lived a long and fruitful life and deserved to be put out
of its misery?

It's a *very* minimal script, all right.
But that's a pretty minor feature, isn't it? I always used "-a" with
ispell for doing that kind of thing, anyway, and aspell's version of
that is pretty close to what I remember of ispell's output. [Though, to
be honest, I have never really used spellcheckers very much.]
