spell checking option to ignore only the numbers in words

Spell checking already has an option to ignore words with numbers, but it
should also include an option to ignore only the numbers within words. Thus,
seven inches could be written in the traditional way: "7in", since "in" is
already in the dictionary.

But correctness requires a space after the digit: 7 in.
