VIM spell checking by file type

Wish I'd figured out this tweak to .vimrc before:

set spelllang=en
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.md setlocal spell
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.txt setlocal spell
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile COMMIT_EDITMSG setlocal spell

Getting spell checking in non-text files was just too annoying, so I turned it off.

Haven't come across a vim equivalent of Emacs' flyspell-prog-mode which considers (programming) context before painting your file red, but I haven't looked too hard either. Now at least, I get spell checking in text, markdown and git commit buffers. And not in all other files I open. Pretty neat, me thinks.
