Another related convenience is to have a rule
somewhere near the bottom of your plumbing file
that pops up a window and prints the dictionary
listing for the word you plumbed. If I could
remember who it was I would thank the person
who recommended this to me because I use it all
the time.

If you are confident with the first part of a word
look(1) could be handy. You could also write a filter
that transposes letters until it finds a match in
/lib/words.  Some toys along these lines:
