Forest, I've taken another look at what's involved and am inclined to accept the idea. It can be done without mucking-up the regular dict API and without precluding any of the other possible underlying algorithms. I like that it supports an entire new categoy of use cases with only a trivial, easily-understood API extension. Patch is attached.
