Documentation for check-spelling

Dropping printf special cases

Background

When the core for check-spelling was initially developed, it was a lot simpler and didn't have any support for patterns.

As it was often run against C/C++ repositories, code was baked-in to handle \n, \r, and \t.

Changes

If you're currently working around that special casing, you'll be able to remove your patterns.txt entries for them.

If you're currently relying on that special casing, you'll need to add entries to patterns.txt, something like:

(?<!\\)\\[nrt]

Schedule

Expecting to deploy in v0.0.22
