Providing an interface to the word database could be used to make a
perl program parsing/index data. I think it will be commonly used to
search for words instead.

Yes, that will be a great feature.

This entirely depends on the versatility of the word database. At present
htdig has a word database structure that does not fit the needs of database
fields indexing well. The abstract definition of the WordKey class is here
to have the ability to mutate the word database schema without loosing
efficiency. It's a compile time mutation (examples in the test directory).
