the primary use case is in fact a 'did you mean' functionality.

e.g. if a query does not return the expected results (too few results, or 
whatever the application thinks is not appropriate) you would then execute the 
following query:

/jcr:root[rep:spellcheck('softeware')]/(rep:spellcheck())

this will always return the root node of the workspace because rep:spellcheck() 
with a string always evaluates to true. the string literal is the same as the 
one you can pass to a jcr:contains() function. the function rep:spellcheck() 
without arguments is a pseudo property which refers to the previous function and 
returns a suggestion for the misspelled statement or null if the statement is 
correctly spelled.
