[libvoikko] Voikko and Enchant 2

Hi,

Has anyone been using Enchant 2's Voikko plugin with Voikko? E2 has
landed to Debian recently and Ubuntu and will be the default in Ubuntu
20.04 LTS.

I've tried it out and in at least gedit it seems to flag all words as
incorrect. In suggestions one can choose the same word again, but
it'll get underlined again as soon as eg space is pressed.

Does this reflect others' experiences too, and is there something
wired a bit wrong in Enchant 2's Voikko plugin?

On the plus side, now Voikko multi-lingual support would work
otherwise via Enchant, as installing giella-sme results in Northern
Sami spell-checking as well.
