Comment (by tmcgilchrist):

 I'd like to have a go at fixing this issue.

 Just so I understand it correctly a fix for this would involve supporting
 both `specialisation` spelling for that command line argument.
 I believe I have something working for `-Wmissed-specializations` and
 `-Wall-missed-specializations`.

 I couldn't find any specific tests that cover these command line
 arguments, is there any?

 As a follow up, I'm not sure if it's required, but there are other flags
 that appear to have the UK spelling of `specialise` like `specialise-
 aggressively` and `cross-module-specialise`
