description
The command |:Linglang| installs a buffer-local autocommand that checks
the current line's language. I.e. enabling linglang for the current
buffer won't affect other buffers. If the language of the line under the
cursor changes, a user-defined action (e.g., set spelllang) will be
executed.

:Linglang[!] [LANGS ...]
    Toggle linglang support for the current buffer.
    With [!], suppress message.

Currently supported:
- English
- German (latin1, utf8)

In order to add a new language, you'll have to come up with some good
words/regexps to identify it.

Language data is stored in .../autoload/linglang/LANGUAGE.ENCODING
The fileformat is simple:

- one word per line (these will be matched against word borders)
- arbitrary regular expressions: /REGEXP/
