After talking with Dom, I'm thinking the Grammar thing should work like
the Spellcheck thing with various engines underneath. We could use the
'en' and 'de' phrase libs though... on Debian they live in
/usr/share/diction.
Could 'style' be handled via a plugin? It just prints out a bunch of
stats about your document. I'm envisioning a "Tools / Statistics..."
menu item.
