Retrieve parts from compound words

[karlb]

Change/feature request

The nuspell/hunspell dictionaries contain useful information to understand how compound words can be built for a language. For use cases outside of spelling correction (e.g. translation), it would be great to make use of this to get the words that make up a compound word.

Example (de_DE):
split_compound("Hausherr") -> ["Haus", "Herr"]

Is there a way to do this with nuspell? If not, would it make sense to add such a function or is this considered to be out of scope?
