Absolutely not. You miss the point entirely.

Field is, by its nature, not a random text. Its text is *meant* to be
*generated by program* following the field's rules from some data (e.g., a
number representing a date). There's no concept of "field data modified by
user". Hence there's no "field text + spell check edits". This is *how it
should be*: any changes of the field content may only be applied by modifying
the field properties, not editing text from outside. Which means that field
properties must provide user a means to define wanted capitalization, not some
"spell check" or any outside tool.
