No idea.
What does codespell use for its regex?
Maybe that should be used.

Maybe all the added lines should be collected and
codespell should be called on those lines instead.

Try other options and check if the overall cpu/wall clock use is reduced.

Adding codespell's dictionary was kind of a 'nice to have' option and
it's not likely that it matters a lot if it's perfect or not.

My presumption is that it's not frequently used, but hey, who knows.
