Actually, it isn't quite a complete solution, either. As a test, I
issued a "zw" on the valid word "fictitious", and it is became marked
as a spelling error as desired, but only outside of the optional
argument to \caption[optional argument]{Mandatory argument}.

I can, of course, do ":syntax off", which causes "fictitious" to be
marked as an error (as desired), but then I get all the false
positives from the LaTeX keywords, commands, labels, etc.

I never suspected that spell-checking a LaTeX file could be such a
mine field.
