That's hundreds of entries and a maintenance nightmare.  No thanks :-).

Computers are not capable of being smart, just fast.  The programmers who
work on them are the only ones with any intelligence.  In other words,
"neat" things like this take effort, sometimes magnitudes more than you
might think just from the basic idea.

That's not a gripe or anything.  I've certainly made my fair share of
"little suggestions" to others, even to myself :-).
