Yep. I briefly toyed with the notion of hacking in a character-level
"ignore" property and explicitly tagging the word, but just couldn't stomach
the thought. The editing operations alone would be ... unpleasant.

Sweet. I ran out of time to do so myself, but this could be as easy as just
replicating the custom.dic logic with the following two variations, no?
- it loads to/from a different hashtable
- it persists into the header of the file format
If so, that shouldn't be bad. Do all our prefs dialogs have an appropriate
button which could be hooked up to flush this list?
