Can't include hyphenated names in Spanish personal word list

[pauloney]

In trying to build a personal word list to use with Spanish I am not able to include any words that have a hyphen, like for example "González-Acuña".

Consider the file:

personal_ws-1.1 es 25 UTF-8
Francisco
Javier
González-Acuña

to be called with the command:

cat t.txt | aspell --add-extra-dicts=proper-names.pws -d es list

it produces the error:

Error: proper-names.pws: The word "González-Acuña" is invalid. The character '-' (U+2D) may not appear in the middle of a word.

You need to update the es.dat file to allow dashes in the middle of words. Without checking, something like:
special - -*-
Which means "Allow the special character "dash" to appear in the middle of a word but not at the beginning or end."

The incantation that will take care of both problems GNUAspell/aspell#551 and GNUAspell/aspell#552 and I could not find any metioning of it on any documentation is: special - -*- ' -*- One question remains: Since both occurrences are common in Spanish, how come this is not standard in the files es.dat?
