Hmm. Dictionary may present in several lists of dictionaries in one
configuration. Suppose, it isn't practical to store dictinitoption
several times. In other hand, the same dictionary (template) with
different init option may present on configuration too. Typical example
is configuration for russian language:
lword, lpword tokens have dictionary's list {ispell_en, stem_en}
nlword, nlpword tokens have dictionary's list {ispell_ru, stem_ru}
stem_(ru|en) is a Snowball's stemmer, but ispell_(ru|en) is a ispell
dictionary (template) with different dictinitoption. Next,
configurations may share dictionaries.
And, init option may be rather big.
